Atari ST, eh?  Well, folks, those of you who haven't visited my office
at least, GUESS what flashy little totally non-X terminal connects me
to my normal home machine geovax (a VAX - as if that weren't bad
enough)?  Yes, you managed it, what clever (fluffy) little sausages
you are, it is indeed an Atari 1040 STe.  Wonderful machine.  One time
I had some spacebar trouble, that is I touched it, I tapped it, hell I
HAMMERED it and you know the little bleeder still didn't give me even
one measly space, so I did what any normal logical screwdriver happy
person wouuld do and pulled the sucker apart (*pulled* is literally
it; you get out all the myriad tiny little fiddly screws that fall all
over the carpet and get lost and it's still stuck together so you pull
a little ...) and all these liddle black rubber things fell out all
over the place so I painstakingly collected them all up and stuck them
back in there and there was one gone for a burton so I thought what
the hell, who needs an f1 key anyway? but unbeknownst to me the duff
one that had been lurking in the spacebar had found its way into the \
key and now I don't have one of those (although the spacebar is now
hunkydory thank you) but I found the perfect solution: go into the
main terminal room and use a nice X-windowing workstation instead;
it's almost worth not being able to drink coffee out there, and you
can read news and pretend to work AT THE SAME TIME!

A famous legal case - after an injury one member of a lesbian couple
was placed at the tender mercies of her parents - while her partner was
denied visitation and guardianship - despite strong evidence that her
preference and best interests where better served by her partner.

The initial bogus ruling was *finally* turned around after years of legal
manuvering and publicity.

*I'd* call him a dork for being close-minded to other people's lifestyles.  I
guess the addage, "the customer is always right" doesn't apply if you're a
power-trippin' ACS admin.  ("Oh look," he says, "I'm helping to join all those
poor lonely single people out there.  I'm their God.")

With the current ACS admin at the wheel, I think you might have a good idea.
I wonder if there is a FAQ for alt.personals.ads too... probably says the same
discriminatory thing (seeing that it is run by the same guy).

It may have more to do with the socialization of 'marriage is the
ultimate goal for women', which pressures the women to a
heterosexual relationship, which when it ends they can re-evalutate
the message, and they desires.

As one of the people quoted (I'm "Al, 38 of Chicago" on Page 50), I
suspect that their editing could have been improved - I'm not precisely
misquoted but the details get a little confused in their efforts to
condense 30 min of interviews and 15 years of experience into a
paragraph.  For example, the implied time sequence mixed up events
before and after my "coming out".

They managed to lump together BiNet and (Chicago) BiPAC and completely
ignored the pointers I gave them to information on the history of
earlier Bi organizations - which I find humorous in light of
the quote "Up until the time of AIDS, the term bisexual was hardly
even used...".

Still despite the fruit salad organization of the information, I'd
tend to agree with Tim that this is good coverage for the mainstream
media.  They don't have much of a sense of perspective, but they did
talk to bisexuals and trying to use them as primary sources.

I think they *are* off the wall about AIDS -- they aren't playing it up
but they still act as if bisexuals posed some special risk -- which
in my mind buys into homophobia and the two camps view of sexuality.
