I suspect the best way to sort out what this group is about is to read
it for a bit. honestly, those ettiquette files were telling you the
truth!

Lets go through your guesses one by one:

>romance novels?

No

>romance languages?

Non

>a dating service?

no, check out alt.personals for that.

>                      Me wanna know!

This group is about a group of people who like to flirt together,
write stories together, gather round fires together, have food fights
together, and also to support each other when needed.

There is a lot goes on behind the scenes in email.

But what I really wanted to say was:

	  Welcome to ARCland, The Happiest Place On The Net!

Have I already welcomed you? Just in case I haven't:

	  Welcome to ARCland, The Happiest Place On The Net!

[rules deleted]

I have come to the conclusion that rules are a *bad* thing. I used to
have some rules but when I broke one of them, I decided to throw away
the rest as well. [If it interests you the rule I broke was 'never
fall in love with a smoker']

Yep broke all the rules, but your next sentence is exactly what I expected:

>But, believe it or not, I don't really care.....  I'm just basking in
>the feeling of being attracted to each other.  *goofy grin*
>And I'd forgotten how good it feels to be held, and to feel loved.
>*goofier grin*

Enjoy what you have for now. Sometime you're going to have to work out
how the LDR is going to function but don't let that weigh down on you
just yet.

Have fun, good luck

Agreed.

Some additional commentary - there are a couple of other
newsgroups you may want to read (if you haven't found them
already), but for right now, you need to get help fast.

One of the most difficult things for someone involved in
an abusive relationship - ANY abusive relationship - is 
to stop thinking in terms of "this is my family" or "this
is my friend", and start thinking objectively that "this
is a situation that could kill me" (or worse - could kill
somone else).  If a stranger was threatening your family,
you would take immediate action.  You have to take the 
same action here.  

YES, it may mean that your mother and sister and the rest
of your family will not forgive you - but in the long run,
if they - or you - were to be severely injured, you'd have
a much harder time forgiving yourself.

There comes a time when you have to save your own sanity.

Good luck - it's not going to be easy, no matter what you do.
