In the suit, Pao alleges that she was sexually harrassed for years by Ajit Nazre, a former partner with the firm who left last year. The two took a business trip together in February 2006, the suit says, during which Nazre made sexual advances toward Pao and she rebuffed them, causing him to become “brusque and distant.” Nazre continued to pursue Pao and the two had a brief relationship, which she broke off soon after, according to the suit. "And the two had a brief relationship". Wait, so then it wasn't harassment? During that time I'm sure she thought his persistence had paid off. It is all too reminiscent of this satire: [VIDEO]

Creepy is the ugly girl who stares at you, but the pretty one who does it isn't. Forgive me for quoting Saturday Night Live[1] here, but I guess this a successful implementation of this feature boils down to: - Be Handsome^W Usable - Be Attractive - Don't Be Unattractive Really, those are rules that apply to any feature on any website. Nobody likes useless features. [1] - [VIDEO]
