Amazing.
There are people who actually believe that someone would
go to this much trouble to *trade coupons* ? (must be artsies :-)
An explanation seems to be in order: it was done tongue-in-cheek
with the hope of generating like-minded (and hopefully much more
witty) ont.singles traffic. Obviously it failed miserably. Time to sulk.

I seriously doubt if there are more than 10 people reading this group,
none of them in any way representative of "ontario's burgeoning
singles population", which leads me to wonder why this group hasn't
been blown away yet. I guess sys admins are too busy watching disk
space get gobbled by soc.singles to care about ont.singles.
