Why is there this great enthusiasm for net.personals?  It seems to me to
be a bad thing.  (Actually, when I first started reading the Network News,
I used to avoid net.singles, because I thought that was what it WAS.)

Why would advertising yourself be better than merely talking to other people?
Isn't writing in here a way to meet people?  I hope that if net.personals
appears, people will not begin to assume "s/he didn't put an ad in net.-
personals, so s/he must not be interested," or something along those lines,
the way people currently reason in Real Life...

[No, I am not referring to newspaper ads in the Real Life case.]
