	its nice to see things calming down a bit, and everyone thinking
more about what they're saying.  i wonder if Trish would care to comment
on the near-riot that she ummm.... precipitated.  now that everyone has
calmed down a bit, it might be interesting to hear what she has to say
about what everyone else thinks that she thinks, and thought she said
way back when (personally, i missed the start of this one, including
Trish's article).  then again, maybe we should just let well enough
alone.

	jeff, i find that i must agree with everyone who has said that
trying too hard, can be self-defeating.  the best way that i have seen
of finding an 'SO', is to simply meet MOTOS with the intention of being
*friends*.  don't go looking for a relationship as such, because it will
show and maybe put others off.  look for friends and give others a chance
to get to know you first.     then you'll have friends as well as possible
girl-friends. i have done this sort of trying too hard before, and am trying
to avoid doing so now (i just moved to this part of the country).  as for
actually meeting MOTOS, well, try to get involved in outside activities
that include lots of people.  if anyone ever comes up with a better idea
please post it.  i have talked with psychologists a few times about various
things (maybe to be discussed another time) having to do with some attitudes
that i had and there really is nothing to be afraid of.  if you have ever had
discussions with a really close friend about why you feel the way you do
(about anything), and what to do about them, then you have experienced much
of what goes on with a psychiatrist or psychologist.  the main difference
being that they are professionals and know much better where to guide the
discussions and what to look for (over-simplification, but essentially
correct).  in fact that is, to a limited extent what you have participated
in here on the net, although the limitations are much greater due to the
time it takes (besides, none of us are professionals at this).  sometimes
friends can give you a different perspective on things, but there is a limit
to what non-professionals can do.

gosh, this was supposed to be 4 or 5 lines.  oh well...
have fun all...	dave hesselberth     the Druid of NC    decvax!mcnc!ncsu!rdr
