Hi!  You tell us.  You've now posted to net.singles.  Who've you met?
Started any pen pal relationships because of it?  I'm asking sincerely,
not to be flip.  I'm sure lots of friendships and love relationships
started here.  I hope to start a few myself!

Sometimes it's helpful to be explicit about the fact that you are open to
and actively seeking a relationship of some kind -- and state your
conceptions about that relationship up front.  A personal ad can serve
that purpose.

But I don't think net.personals would be very productive.  The
ratio of men to women on the net is extremely lopsided (assuming you're
seeking a heterosexual relationship).

Then again, maybe that's exactly the best atmosphere for something like
personal ads.  Any other opinions?
