         I have an ancient Chinese coin which is more than 2,000 years
  
       old (about 2,500 years old). It is knife-shaped, about 6 inches
 
       long and 1 inch wide. It is quite unique and wonderful for 

       personal or other sort of collection. I have to sell it even if

       I am quite reluctant to do so because I have cherished it for 

       so long.

         It is really a thrill for numismatists. Why not ask for a

       picture of it right now? Send a message, make an offer, and then

       it will be yours.

I am a 33-year old GWM who really hadn't thought about posting to this group,
(but I read them...does that make me a voyeur?  don't think so) until I
read the recent complaining about the dearth of messages and agreed totally!
So, here I am...I guess I have to say I am 6'2", and weigh about 185. 
Yes, there is a bit of a love handle there, but not too bad.  I have brown
hair and green eyes, and people say I'm not too bad looking.  So, I may
have been ruled out by lots of people now.  So, for those of you still
reading, there are also other things you should know:

I am addicted to music and play stuff from all over the world.  I am also
addicted to foreign languages.  And plants, indoor and out.  (so, what
else is new - all fags love their houseplants, right?!)  I love to get out
of town and hike, but don't usually have the time to do it, but would
certainly (and consistently do) make the time for the right person. 
Actually the reason I don't get out more often is that I love to share a
good time, and when I go out to some nice place alone, I'm constantly
thinking "hey, I sure wish - - - could see this".  Somehow it's not as fun
just doing it myself.  

I am not really into bars (oh, god, _that_ phrase again...but it's true!)
and though I do occasionally go out, it's usually with a bunch of friends.
If I "find someone" through this post, I would hope that you would be like
that too.  I am very social, sometimes to a fault, which means that if
there is some pressing obligation I need to attend to, (like a paper due?!)
and a friend calls up and wants to talk, I am pretty likely to put the
person first.  Which means I sometimes have trouble getting up in the morning!

Most of my friends don't know I'm gay (well, the straight ones!) because
for quite a while I really felt like hiding it.  I'm not so worried about
someone "finding out" now, and the main thing keeping me from telling more
of them is that I'm afraid they will be sort of tweaked that I didn't
trust them in the first place!  Most of my friends are straight, though I
have a few close gay friends as well.  I do not by any means limit myself
to the "gay world", and actually I sort of guard against that happening.

Well, I guess this is a suitable introduction.  I live in Seattle, but if
you want to mail from somewhere else that's okay too!  

So, let's see if this gets more people on the group....

Hi,
  I am a student up here at Western Washington University and would like to 
reach out and find new people... I'd like to start with Email, and possibly,
if realistic, meet you someday...

  Like I said, I'm a student, majoring in Computer Science, and it seems like
I'm one of the few people in this field with a personality... It gets REAL
boring listenting to these people sometimes...

  I love music, water, reading, talking/mind-probing, sleeping, (computers,
grumble :) and much more... I have a funny sense of humor, often unexplainable
and it would shine right now if I weren't sooooo tired... ugh, but it is
Friday, so, please write...

> pnwp-105 posts concerning "a small handful of people post here"

Actually I've only seen 4 posts total so far.

I am a single male in search of swf, however to start a thread more likely
for discussion, where do all the single folks out there look for others?

I've been into the square dance groups, and found that the singles clubs are
a good place to meet friends and discover folks with similar interests if
the club is sufficiently active.  Makes it easy to find folks for hiking and
biking with, though the really active folks seem to come and go from the
clubs in waves through different seasons of the year.

I have/am also looking into church based groups, though after my divorce I
feel a little let down by the people at the church I belonged to at the time,
and find it difficult to get involved in a new church right now (too busy
fighting with my own reactions to be able to commit and get involved).

I have limited experience with the bar scene, but have found a couple women
that way that only turned out to be friends, not the something more that I
was seeking.

I tried a dating service, but that turned out to be expensive and yielded
disasterous results.

Anyone got any better methods?

- Scott

I've noticed that only small handful of people post here.  

What's wrong?  Cat got your tongues?  Is everyone so scared to express
themselves?

Of course, you've got the normal nerdy guys begging for women.  The women
must really be trashing the men privately for the men not to return.

I don't know.  I'd probably post more if I didn't feel like I'd have to
conform to the man seeks woman atmosphere here.  I don't think that's the
sole purpose of this group, however.

I'll think of something to write later.  Meanwhile, somebody else continue
this.

Life is too short...be like Ren & Stimpy.

Well, Rick, judging from the header (posting at 2300 MDT from nyx, *not* NCAR),
I'd say he's posting at home, on his own time, from a public access system.
Do you have a problem with that?

Service sector jobs need not be considered menial, and if you think that
working on an assembly line (i.e. manufacturing job) is not menial, you're
crazy.

The switch away from a manuafcturing economy is not a bad thing. This switch
started in the late 50's, and the standard of living for Americans has gone 
well up since then, both in terms of material wealth and opportunities for
personal advancement and freedom of lifestyle. I suggest you read Toffler's
"The Third Wave" for a discussion in depth on this transition, which has 
affected every facet of life (some positivly, some negitively).

  It's called "efficiency of time usage." Also, having a terminal and a 9600

  BTW, setting followups to "/dev/null" ain't gonna work. If you really want
  to "get" someone, set followups to misc.test. That way, they'll get dozens
  of little mail messages from the entire realm.

  So, given that he can't do the "trivial" stuff, what's odds that he'll be
  able to tackle the bigger problems?

  I've been waiting for a response like yours to my Perot-and-EDS claims, in
  that it's fairly obvious that he won't be able to do the same things as Prez
  as he did as CEO of EDS. If he's so easily stymied by these "trivial" things,
  is there any real hope that he can do what *he* wants (still a major beef I
  have with him)?

  Why? Because he says the right things? Because his soundbites sound good?

  Actually, what he proposes is plain common sense; in this regard, any one of
  us would be as good a President as some claim he could be.

  Why are people so enamored with Perot? What it is about him, besides the fact
  that he isn't "tainted" by being a Republicrat, that makes people so ecstatic
  about his candidacy? Does *anyone* really know what he's *for*?

For Sale:  Macintosh Modem

	Smart One 2400X Modem for sale.
	Includes 2400/1200/300 BPS transmission rates.
	Entirely Hayes compatible

This modem comes with original box, manuel, cables and Quick-Link software.
It includes everything you need to connect to the mainframe or 
various BBS's around town.

I will also include the latest version of Disinfectant and Zterm 0.9.
(These are shareware, so are not part of the actual cost.)

The price I am asking is $150/or best offer.  If you have any further questions,
feel free to call me.  The modem is in mint condition and I have had no
problem getting any data transmission protocols to work with it.
