Message-ID: <7987@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu> Date: 9 Mar 88 13:46:47 GMT Organization: The Ohio State University Dept of CIS Lines: 22 I've seen quite a few postings in this group about HOW to be an individual and I have really liked them. I don't have a big philosophy about this (which is partly why I subscribed, so I could learn a bit about it) but... I've never activly sought to be different, I just always was. And I like it that way. But, for me, trying to be different from everyone else seems like a lost cause. The way I do things is, if I want to do it, I do. Sometimes it happens to off-beat, sometimes it happens to be quite mainstream. I don't do something just for the sake of being different, nor I do I AVOID doing something *because* alot of others do it, too. This goup is second on my list of favourites (next to rec.music.makers)...I would like to get some email from a few of you out there, too, to discuss such matters as mentioned above, as weel as what gets posted. -- Karen A.
