Bravo crew!  What say we just make it official policy that anyone expressing
emotion shall be excommunicated from the net?  After all, we don't
 *really* care about each other's feelings, do we?
Isn't netland supposed to be bright and cheery continuously?  If we
wanted reality, why would we be typing on a terminal?  And besides,
we never see each other or hear voices, we can't even notice tear stains
like on a letter; if for any reason there is a strong emotion in netland,
it must be absolutely, inequivocably and forever repressed.

So all readers, rise to your duty:  if Ellen is not roundly criticized
and belittled, you will bear the responsibility for 'the slings and 
arrows of outrageous fortune' that will inevitably contaminate net.singles.
This newsgroup is oriented towards love and sex, not compassion!
Everyone knows that love and pain are totally unrelated!
