I haven't done any simming, but a friend of mine has on-line. If her experience is anywhere close to typical, I wouldn't want someone looking at simmers and thinking that's what I do. (Let me put it this way, some of the things pulled in those sims would get my 7 year old nephew a very sore bottom.) I'm still getting caught up on e-mail after vacation, though, have we put together a working definition of simming yet?
