     Boy, with the walls you people build around yourselves, it's no
wonder you're single!

     At the times I've been "single," I've greatly enjoyed the company
and support of my friends who were in relationships (married or
otherwise) -- and at the times I've been in a relationship, I've
always enjoyed the company and support of my "single" friends.  Best
of both worlds?  You bet!  Good people are too hard to find without
further limiting yourself to those whose situation is "similar" to
your own.

     If Ms. Goldstein is taking the initiative in organizing a potluck
dinner and she wishes to restrict it to those who are strictly single,
I think that's her prerogative -- and I certainly think she's entitled
to get angry at suggestions that such a potluck will simply be a "meat
market" if it excludes couples.  Someone else can certainly get it up
to organize a couples-and-singles dinner, right?

     On the other hand, I think this news.group is a public forum, and
anyone should be entitled to contribute....

     Living in Berkeley and involved with a woman in Milwaukee,
