To all the people writing to me asking where I have gone or if I'm
gone for good etc.... Sheesh! Can't a person take a couple of days off
from work. I really do have a life outside the net. Honest! To the 
nonsence about the flames I received. Granted I do admit I deserved
alot of what I was handed but, regardless this has all gone too far.

I think I overstepped some boundaries and yes my gramatical skills are weak
when I don't take the time to proofread.  I really enjoy this group (chatty 
as it may be) if I could find the same group of people (dare I almost call 
them friends) in another group I would consider leaving. 

There are many rumors and flames I would like to put to rest or extinguish.
However, I will refrain.

As Always,
Rai.

Hi!  I'm a 28 year old SWM who lives in the Boston area suburbs.  I'm a
software engineer by trade, amateur musician and romantic by recreation.
I'm tall, medium build, brown hair & blue eyes.  I'm Jewish, but
atheist, and I'm not picky about it.

I'm not a hard core jock, but I do like bike riding, long walks,
swimming, and such.  I also like to dance...although I don't like large
crowds or excessively loud clubs.  I play classical music in the town
orchestra, and I like playing chamber music, and I'd like to learn jazz
(write if you want to know what instrument!).  I like listening to
music, preferably classical, jazz, and rock, although I'm willing to try
most anything.  My favorite classical composers are Bach and Beethoven.

As for what I'm looking for: a woman who's bright, sexy (do you *think*
of yourself as sexy?), a little bit brash, someone who doesn't fit in
particularly well with pop culture, and who questions everything for the
sake of questioning, romantic, with a variety of interests that aren't
necessarily the same as mine.  Not an "average" woman.

Hello? Prince Charming? Anybody home?

For anyone who hasn't read an earlier version of this personal, I'm
a 28-year old GWM working on my PhD at Penn State U in State College PA --
about 3 hours from Pittsburgh and 4 from Philly.  What am I like?  Shy,
semi-intellectual, and very much a homebody (for anyone into psychology,
I'm an INTJ on that personality battery whose proper name I never remember).
I don't like bars or clubs, mainly because the smoke, the noise and the
attitude make any kind of intelligent conversation impossible.   I'd much
rather go to a diner, coffee shop or maybe a piano bar where you can really
enjoy the company of the people you're with.  I also like going to  movies,
plays, concerts, operas, ballets, and other cultural-type activities.  I enjoy
staying home with close friends for dinner,  videos, and lots of good
conversation.

If I sound like the kind of person you'd like to get to know, then drop me a
note!

Date: Sun, 27 Sep 1992 13:36:00 GMT

My name is Tom.  I've just finished my PhD in Mathematics and now I've come to London to start my
first job.  The problem is that I don't know anyone in London and since mathematicians are such a 
bunch of introverted weirdo's I'm unlikely to meet anyone interesting unless a make some effort.
So here is the effort.

I'm not a typical mathematician.  In fact I only stumbled into this after studying medicine for a
while.  I love mathematics, but I find my workmates a bit depressing.  All very nice people that I 
have great respect for, just not very interesting socially.

I'm 6'1" tall with dark hair and green eyes and I'm 29 years old.  
I'm quite fit and slim and I guess quite good looking; or at least so I'm told.  
I have lot's of interests that certainly don't include
philately or lapidarian interests. I hate computers with a passion that the English
language does not have words to describe.  

I would like to find an interesting girl in London.  Her appearance and age are not particularly 
important.  At first I am only interested in friendship.  What is important is that she
is lively and interesting, talkative and intelligent.  I want someone interested in getting 
out and enjoying all the great things that London has to offer.  If some romance happens to 
follow, well that would be an extra bonus that I would certainly be interested in.

I'm very friendly and easy going and I enjoy making new friends.  Don't reply if you want
the sort of guy who is the stereotype comp sci./maths/engineer type.  Please do reply 
if you want to have some fun in London.

Tom.

	highly developed sense of self; is non-possessive; is honest
	without being smarmy; and is intelligent without pomposity.
	I'm NOT into the macho type--I'm interested in someone who is
	willing to use their enthusiasm to enhance the quality of a
	relationship and could be spontaneous to create special
	moments.

	If you wish to explore something exciting and discreet, please

Hi, I'm Michael, and I'm in the market for one woman: low mileage, few
previous owners, nice curves, comfortable, high performance, good
efficiencey (city and highway), and reasonable cost.

*smile* (If you think I'm serious, read on...)

Ok, now for the translation: I'm interested in meeting new women for
friends, and maybe more if we both dig each other. (Hey- I like to use
'dig' like that!) Ultimately, I want someone who is friendly,
beautiful, adventurous, intelligent, down-to-earth, sexy, witty,
sophisitacted, and living here in Austin.

My interestes include, but are not limitted to the following:  (:

Thinking & talking (about Philosophy, the Universe, Beauty, Love, and
even Politics)
Camping, Backpacking, Canoeing, Climbing, Snorkeling, Riding, Skiing.
Holding Hands, Giving and Receiving Massages, Kissing, etc., etc....
Romance, Sunsets, Sunrises, Crashing Waves, Clouds, Smiles.
Star Trek, and Asimov, and Clarke SciFi.
Computers- as a means, and not so much as an end.
Women- see Holding Hands....

Ok- I know realistically that this will most likely not reach anyone
who would be compatible, but it might! Oh yeah- if you have similar
interests, and would like to be email-pen-pals, I just might consider
that. :)

OK- that's it. Now get back to reading all those interesting
substantive articles!

I'm the one who originally posted this questionnaire.  Let me say that it
was not posted for you to justify your heterosexuality, but to question
society's attitude to homo-/bi-sexuals.  Every answer you replied with on
this survey is the same answer that homo-/bi-sexual would have used if the
questionnaire had been aimed at them.  If you ask a homo-/bi-sexual for
proof or justification for their sexuality, then you should first ask your-
self for proof and justification of your own sexuality.

If you cannot understand how they can be homosexual, then how can you expect
them to understand why you're heterosexual.  No one has the right to ask some
one to justify and prove their sexuality, yet in our society gays/lesbians/bis
are day-to-day asked to do this.  The questionnaire was meant to let you feel
how things are when the roles are reversed.

As was once said (by whom I forget), "Ignorance breeds fear, and fear... fear
breeds hate."  And my sexuality is not important to this discussion, if you
think it is, then you have truly missed the point.

Dave-
I'm a sophomore at Western Kentucly University in Kentucky (of

computer fit in all those tight places), so how about correspondence ?
I enjoy lots of things, like basketball, volleyball, weight lifting,
