This is a very good idea Ann, but we have to realize that there are other people out there who actually "believe" that what bird brain thinks is sensible (you know, the kind of people who agree with Archie Bunker). It seems that the people who read (or at least post) the messages in this group can be divided into two groups. They follow: net.singles For the people who care about caring and love to love not JUST to make love (although this should not be de-emphasized). Herein people will stay to carry on helpful and happy conversations as to the meaning of love, life, and why he/she left her/him. Where people who are happy with the way things were should stay. Happy to see Bird Dog and his band of followers (3) GO. Granted - everyone will not agree with all the articles posted here, but for the most part will be happy with the newsgroup. net.realmen net.realwomen net.fast - my personal favorite. In this group fall all those "real" men and women who are interested in others of the same class (or themselves). They can post REAL man messages and have (For a good time call ...) REAL man conversations. (Ya hear who I fucked ...) if they want they can bitch about all of us over at net.singles (Frankly Scarlet ..) Lets face it, as long as there are people who still think that sex is the most important thing in life, were going to have people with opinions like Bird Dog who think everything else is bullshit. They have a right to express there opinions as well. They'll learn . . . well they might. but lets let them learn in a different group. watta ya think Bird Dog - would ya like your very own group. You can even name it. I'll defend your right to say it, but not to the death - Dan. Sorry Ann I couldn't help my self either.
