The real problem with net.personals (and I'm all in favor of it) is that
nobody will post to it.  I know, because a long time ago this discussion
came up, and instead of posting my reasons why I thought it would be a
good idea, I posted a net.personal.  I was the *only one* who did so, and
naturally I got no response.  Well, that's not true.  My family and friends,
scattered across the net, all took the opportunity to give me shit about it.

So go ahead and post.  To net.singles.  Just stick a header line that says
it is a personal.  LIke:

Subject:  Personal: SWM seeks Susan

(or whatever).  I guarantee that nobody will do it.  You know, *everybody*
would read net.personals *anyway*, just to see people make fools of them-
selves, so why not post to net.singles for now?

Come on, people...  No guts, no glory.
