Summary: 

Suppose the idea of net.personals Does Not catch on, but some folks want to
be able to post personals anyway.  If the subject line of every personal
simply read "personal", and distributions were limited to the same city,
(or state, for those of you who live in states smaller than industrial
nations) those who wished to not read them could avoid the personals with
little trouble.  Remember, people in Australia don't give a flying wombat
about your flashing dark eyes if you live in Kentucky.

And try not to make the personals read like resumes...or beer commercials...
