    Well, as promised, I've finally finished the compilation and analysis of
the results of the Virginity survey that I conducted in February.  I thank you 
all for your tremendous response.  
   The paper that I finally ended up writing ended up being 40 pages long.
I've summarized the paper into a series of postings that will follow.  The 
postings are divided into five sections:  
		     this one,
		     the introduction,
		     the description of the results,
		     a description of how correlations work, and
		     the analysis of the results.
    The introduction, the description of the results, and the analysis of the 
results are taken from the paper.  Some elements of the paper (such as 
the description of the USENET, etc.) were omitted.  
    The description of how correlations work was thrown together by me so 
that those who didn't understand how correlations and significance 
levels work would have a good chance of understanding the analysis.  It is 
strongly recommended that you read it before the analysis is you feel unsure 
about your ability in this area.  
    Although I had a fairly large appendix giving comments by the respondents 
on the various questions, I felt that it would have taken far too much 
trouble to get clearance from everyone to post those comments.  Thus, I've 
left them out.  Sorry if some of you are disappointed in this.
    Lastly, I wish to apologize for not presenting the results in a manner
that reads more like a normal net.singles posting than a paper.  I hope that 
it doesn't deter anyone from reading it.

Again, thanks for the responses.  I hope that you find it informative!
