Thanks for all the nice welcomes.
Another thought occured to me....I'm a kid from the (late) 60-ies and 70-ies, a time where everbody was trying really hard to grow their hair as long as possible. Being somewhat of a hippie myself, I joined in the fun and didn't cut the hair for ages. I couldn't imagine that I'd ever wear it short: too ' military' looking and in contradiction to my hippie beliefs.
Now....look at me: shorter that it can even be :-)
(but, that's about as much as I've lost from my hippie beliefs, the rest still stands
)
