I can relate to that.  The Waterloo social scene isn't much to write
home about, and you're right, I was childish, and I forgot about the
business types who want to read better stuff.  Possibly because they
aren't posting it.  This group is like a sewer:  you get out of it
what you put into it.  (apologies to Tom Lehrer.)


So, if you have some social events that you want

Hear, hear.

Fer sure.  But you've got to expect noise like that on any newsgroup
labelled "singles".  Just type "n".

I think it's wonderful that Murray has the courage to post to this
group, I hope more "real people" do so.  But Murray, why not follow
your own advice and share something with us, rather than criticizing?
I promise never to mention sin or purity if you'll stop flaming me
for being from a certain University.

Cheers,
