Message-ID: <2391@ut-ngp.UTEXAS> Date: Mon, 16-Sep-85 22:48:53 EDT Article-I.D.: ut-ngp.2391 Posted: Mon Sep 16 22:48:53 1985 Date-Received: Thu, 19-Sep-85 07:29:46 EDT Distribution: net Organization: UTexas Computation Center, Austin, Texas Lines: 25 [] There is a possible solution to the regional personals problem which I have not seen mentioned yet: local Bulletin Board System micros. There are several such public-access machines here in Austin which are geared primarily to "match-making" functions. These would seem to be an ideal solution to the problem. (If there aren't any in your city, you could always set one up.) In addition, some other BBS'es have boards specifically created so that people can introduce themselves to the other users of the BBS. Most of these systems have some sort of private E-mail facility, so you can send a message to that nice-sounding MOTOS. All you need is a terminal and a modem... BTW, please don't swamp me with requests for more information about specifics; they vary from system to system. -- The above viewpoints are mine. They are unrelated to those of anyone else, including my cat and my employer.
