One problem that I can forsee is that this net is supported
primarily by corporate largesse. That makes USENET a privilege, not a
right. I, for one, would have a hard time explaining to some of the
higher-ups in my company how AT&T benefits by mailing personal ads
all over the country. In almost every large city, there are
magazines or weekly papers that accept personal ads; I suggest using
them. You will reach a much larger audience, and you will have a
much higher probability of *meeting* the people that respond.
