	Now wait just a minute, there is an inherent flaw in this logic. S. A. 
Nelson writes that "WE" who ask where the women are on this group are the same
"WE" who are chasing them away with all of these tedious and obnoxious posts
by religious zealots who have nothing better to do than boor everyone with 
their tight-sphinctered views of morality, homosexuality, etc. I beg to differ,
those of us who wish to meet some nice women on this group ARE NOT the same 
people who are responsible for these long-winded, evangellically driven threads
posted by religious zealots with nothing better to do, and then fueled by 
people who get sucked into arguing about it endlessly. I don't wish to become 
one of those people either, but I do have a suggestion.

	Why doesn't every one who is tired of this group being used by a few
morons as a private venue for arguing their socio-politico-religious 
differences post an ad. All of you who sit around, gleaning this group every 
day looking for a morsel, take the time to write your own ad. All of you guys 
who think it is hopeless, a lost cause, write an ad, be honest about yourself
and what you are seeking, use a little taste and class when choosing your words
and see what happens. All of you women out their who never post, but instead 
judge all the men on this group by the few idiots who choose to do nothing but 
brag about their sexual prowess, get off your hands and post an ad. So what if
you are deluged with responses, perhaps when you sift through them you may find
a gem or two that will have made it worth the effort.

	If everyone who is tired of these ridiculous half discussion, half 
flame wars would post an ad, there would be so many ads on this board that the
few articles containing religious crap would dissolve into the background
noise instead of being such a prominent part of this group. Perhaps they would
even go away and find a quieter channel to have their private party on. What 
do you think? Does this make sense to any one?

	I have posted several ads, using my alias, and have never recieved 
much of a response. I tried to be honest, sincere, and polite, but I think
my ads were washed away in the flotsam of Re: articles on this group. If this 
group were really an "ads" group, there should never be an "Re:" seen in a 
subject line, with an occasional exception for someone having mail problems
and has no other way to reply. Just my opinion. All flames go to /dev/null.
