No claim is made that the results are representative of the total network. First, some background information. Mail replies were saved in files called voy, betwen, and exhib. Net replies and references were saved in files of the same names except that 'net.' was pre-pended. The files were kept in a mayonaise ... (wrong story). As expected, many voyeurs did not reply. Also, some people claimed to be voyeurs, even though they had posted articles prior to the survey. A few true voyeurs did send mail replies. If they don't send me money, I'll post their mail to the net and convert them to exhibitionists. One valid point that came with in was "You have to be a voyeur in order to be an exhibitionist". This seems to be very true. Here are the totals for what respondents "claimed" to be, Voyeur - 12 Voyeur in transition (to between) - 2 Between - 10 Exhibitionist - 2 Reformed exhibitionist - 1 Neither - 1 As you can see, these are not very large numbers. By adding in some first hand observations (of who submits articles) the numbers should change to this, Voyeur - 7 Voyeur in transition - 3 Between - 15 Exhibitionist - 3 A few more comments. BJ - You were right, your mail did not get through, and I did not read it a few minutes ago. To the person that claimed to be neither, how did you find out about the survey? Conclusions. Draw your own, the sample is pretty small and I'm sure a number of voyeurs didn't reply. Now, some more recent topics, and my own biased opinions. Ellen, use net.flame next time. Turn-ons/turn-offs Turn-offs - people that chew gum like cows. people that use "like, ya-know,and I'm like,...." in every other statement/phrase/sentence people that drive like idiots self-centered ego-maniac conversaton hogs users Turn-ons - people that can carry on a conversation people with a good (I'll even settle for warped) sense of humor people that don't pretend to be what they are not Don't cares - looks, age (yes, I know I said over 21 before, this is because the drinking age in Ill. is 21), religion, ethnic background, politics, job/profession Well friends, this is getting kind of long so I'll say goodbye for now, Dave Rosik outside!ihps3!ihuxr!dlr BTL - Naperville Ill.
