    I've been missing a couple days postings of net.motss and just caught
the tail end of a discussion regarding my article on bars. I didn't catch
the names of the people but I guess one is named Rob. I do agree that
stereotyping can be dangerous but was just attempting to zoom in on some
types that I feel are mildly amusing/annoying when I go out. It's very
easy to take my postings the wrong way unless you've met me face to face
as about 15 motss readers have. Since joining the net, I've recieved lit-
erally hundreds of personal responses; almost all positive. If I've made
a few gay people have a few guffaws and giggles, that's great! If I've
made a few people think, that's also good. On the other hand a few of the
regular contributors like Ron Rizzo and Steve Dyer have made me think very
seriously about topics they've raised.
    I'll be first to admit that I also fit some of the stereotypes; short
dark hair, moustache, punktail, tight faded 501's muscle shirts, etc. I
agree that we all exhibit some of the folly that I make light of. If I
couldn't laugh at all the looneyness I see around me; including my own,
I'de wind up crying. I look forward to meeting ore of you; either by
accident or intensionally as time goes by.
