Thanks for the eerily accurate review of CC3.

The fathers are gone for a couple of reasons.  I don't care for either of 
them, so didn't want to write them poorly.  That's why Shampoo and Mousse 
will also have limited roles.  I also would find it...very difficult to 
write them into sexual situations.  Plus having them gone makes it easier 
to move the plot along, as Ranma in effect becomes HOH.

So, in effect, you're right.  Having them gone removes lots of 
difficulties.  But it also adds some, as we'll see in future parts.  It's 
a balance.

Thanks again!
