So far I have not responded to any of the articles in this group and, after
this followup, I suspect that I will remain silent in the near future and
simply observe. This reply is also my first real flame. As to the quality of
the flame, let's just say somewhere in the neighborhood of plasma temperatures
in a tokamak.

For awhile I saw an interesting discussion between single people in this group
and now there is a big discussion between married people. What is it with you?
Wishful thinking? Or are you just like a lot of my friends who, once they get
married themselves, feel a compeling desire to convert me and everyone else
they know that's single?

Get this. I will say it once. If a single person wants to stay single she/he
will and would probably not enjoy seeing a discussion in net.singles about the
subject of marriage. If a single person is interested in becoming non-single
she/he will probably light the fire of discussion. A simple response by someone
who is married is perfectly acceptable if a response were solicited. No flames
are intended to those of you who did.

The flame goes to those who decided they should start a discussion in singles
about marriage, directed at married people mostly in the way of asking open
questions to married people about their marriage. The name of this group is
net.singles, not net.hey.married.people.lets.take.over.net.singles. Just
because you see a news group that's dormant for a day that doesn't give you
a license to lynch it.

(flame off, but I hope you can still feel the heat...)
