You're starting to sound like Ron Reagan!

Singleness !?!  Geez !?!  What dictionary do you use?

What sort of sentence is this? Perhaps you meant "... of everyone reading ..." ?
>Is it a huge advantage to enjoy total anonymity?
Finally a (marginally) correct sentence. Oh well, one out of eight isn't too badfor an Imprint staffer.

As a (theoretic) representative of the students' views at Waterloo, the Imprint
is noted for very poor spelling (even with a spelling checker), worse grammer,
and worst of all poor content. However, they are now online, to accept articles
and letters via email, so contributions from the net could improve the overall
quality.

Now if only their cultural contributions were worth posting to this group :-)...

Seriously, though, there is a large group of single net.people in ontario, and
this province is small enough for road trips to parties or events. Is there
anyone out there? Support culture, contribute to this group.

Possible topics for discussion (let's kill this topic) are anything you want,
including the stuff in soc.singles. If you have something worth discussing,
post it!
