It's only silly if you do it ONLY during the special situations.  I'm all for
spontaneous hugging and I've never said anything against it.

Well, there is the little matter of $$$$ and time (aren't they the same
thing? (-:).  Other then that, I wouldn't mind one bit (I'd be nervous, but
so what?  You have to take risks to get some rewards in life (and what a 
reward!)). 

Also, I have met one of the net-people who agrees with me (you know who you 
are) and we got along smashingly (and many thanks for having me <HUG>).

Frankly, I can't see what your criticizing.  It's this discussion that has made
net.singles my favourite newsgroup on the entire net (of course, I did start
the discussion, but that's beside the point (-:).

Life,
  Love,
    Laughter,
      and Hope,

P.S. to the person who sent the letter (and to anyone else with similar
sentiments):  Why didn't you send a letter to us?  If you feel that strongly
about it, tell us through e-mail (honest, I don't bite).
