Indicate with parentheses. U* does not need to upgrade.

	U++++ I am on-topic for alt.fan.wednesday. What more do
	you want?
	U+++  I grep my news spool just to read her articles.
	U++   I autoselect for her on some of the groups I read.
	U+    Well, I'm subscribed to alt.abuse.transcendence.
	U     I see her name just about everywhere I read.
	U-    Wednesday. That's Tina Sikorski, right?
	U--   Argh. I killfile her.
	U---  She's not Christina Ricci and I wish she'd get
              the hell off of alt.fan.[addams.]wednesday!
        U---- I KNOW SHE'S REALLY THE BOB(c)!!! I KNOW IT!
	U*    We post jointly.
	!U    Christina Ricci has an AOL account?
 
* W (World Wide Web)

	W++++ SHE LINKED ME TO HER WEB PAGE. *scamper of joy*
	W+++  I check her pages regularly, have reread the essays
	      and poetry several times, and made a point of linking
	      her to my pages at least once.
	W++   I've checked in when she's made announced updates. 
	W+    I've gone in once or twice, and it's pretty cool.
	W     I could only see it on Lynx, so I didn't get the full
              impact.
	W-    Been there. Seen it. S'ok.
	W--   It's a little self-serving, and I do wish she'd get
              rid of that damned huge bio. It's really unnecessary.
	W---  She has no HTML skill whatsoever. What are you talking
	      about?!
	W---- I asked her to take me OFF her hotlist. Ecch.
	W*    We maintain joint pages of some form or another.
	!W    Geez, I don't even have a BROWSER.

* M (Meeting Wednesday)

        M*    I am Daniel B. Holzman
	M++++ I see Wednesday on a fairly regular basis and am 
	      familiar enough with her diet that I can predict her
	      orders at restaurants. 
	W+++  I hang out with Wednesday when she makes her semi-
	      regular roadtrips around different places in the US,
	      she may have crashed at my place, and I wish I saw her
	      more often.
	M++   I've done coffee with Wednesday, probably while passing
              through Chicago.
	M+    I've met Wednesday at a Net-related gathering (e.g.
              a.s.a.r.picnic, Peevefest, a.r.k. picnic, tezcat.gather,
	      Nutmeg festival, a.s.b. party).
	M     I have never met Wednesday.
	M-    I just missed meeting Wednesday.
	M--   I'm really not interested in meeting Wednesday.
	M---  You couldn't pay me to meet Wednesday.
	M---- Oh, -puh-leeeeeeeze-.
	M*    Oh, come on, I -live with- Wednesday.
	!M    Who?

	C+++  Wednesday frequently checks mail and news from my system.

              least once.
	C+    Wednesday has used my computer.
	C     Wednesday knows I have a computer.
	C-    Well, I gave her advice on how to use her system once...
	C--   Wednesday doesn't know I have a computer.
	C---  You kidding? I have a .edu account that I use from the
	      LABS AT MY SCHOOL. How on earth do you think she could
              use my computer?
	!C    I am [Wednesday's old sysadmin], and I wouldn't want 
	      Wednesday back on my system if she paid me -business rates-.

* CD (Music)

	CD++++ We have amazingly similar taste in music, and could
               quite easily share the same CD collection with very
	       little clash.
	CD+++  She made me a tape/I made her a tape that she/I really
	       enjoyed.
	CD++   We can usually agree on something in common to listen to,
	       but I don't like most of what she listens to.
	CD+    I got her to listen to __________, at least. 
	CD     I'm sure we could agree on something if we talked about it.
	CD-    Most of the stuff she listens to is really annoying.
	CD--   Who the HELL listens to ________ anymore?!
	CD*    We are Of The Brain. Therefore, We Agree.

* N (The Legal Name)

	N++++ If I called Wednesday by her legal name, I would
              live to tell the tale.
	N+++  If I called Wednesday by her legal name, she would
              look at me strangely, and probably bitch me out.

	N+    I call her by her legal name sometimes to annoy her.
	N     I know her legal name, but I don't use it.
	N-    I always wondered what her legal name was.
	N--   It's Leigha Holzman-Simons, right?
	N---  Uhhh.... something Sikorski...
	N---- You mean it's not Wednesday?!
	N*    I've known Wednesday since before she was called Wednesday,
              so she lets me call her by her legal name.
	!N    "Wednesday." It's not her real name. Geez. You'd THINK
	      some people would KNOW how names work.

* F (Food)

	F++++ I know her diet inside out and upside down; she will
              eat my cooking, and we can usually agree on a restaurant.
	F+++  I know she eats a lot of meat. That's all she seems to
	      order at restaurants anyway.
	F++   I think she's a carnivore.
	F+    I think she eats?
	F     Does she eat?
	F-    Oh, come on. She's online all day. She doesn't eat.
	F*    Heck, I've even bought her lunch/dinner/breakfast.
	!F    It's never been discussed.
