"This program posts news to thousands of machines throughout the entire 
civilized world."

Somehow, that statement looms especially large when posting something like an
RFA application :-).  Urp.

Anyways, it went a bit more quickly than I expected.  I include all standard
disclaimers about it being my first attempt and so forth... and so, without
further ado <audience groans>...


               The Vacation of My Dreams

Andrea and I had met during university.  After a somewhat varied
education, I had finally managed to stay on campus long enough to
get to know someone, well, intimately.  Of course, this managed to
distract me *very* effectively, but I was going to enjoy this
challenge.

Now, as Christmas was fast approaching, I wanted to come up with
something that would really knock Andrea off her feet.  I had heard
all the standard cliches about romantic getaways, but I wanted
something extra special.  I resolved to "get away from it all", and
arranged to rent a chalet for the duration of our vacation -- two
weeks of (hopefully) sheer bliss.

I had only given Andrea the slightest details concerning our
getaway.  I arranged to drop by her apartment to pick her up, and
soon we were on our way.  I eased the Volvo onto the highway, as
Handel's _Water Music_ softly emanated from the speakers.  We
talked incessantly on the drive there.  I was kept rather busy,
cleverly deflecting any questions about our final destination.  As
we headed deeper into cottage country, however, she was getting
suspicious about what I had come up with this time.

As I pulled up to the chalet, a mixed look of disbelief and joy
came over her face.
"You didn't!" she whispered.  
"Didn't what?" I innocently chirped back.
"This is wonderful."
"Hey, the best part is waiting inside," I said, getting out of the
car.

I walked over to her side of the car, opened the door, and grasped
her hand gently as I helped her out.  As she stepped out, our eyes
met, and we stood there for several seconds, locked in each other's
gaze.  We were completely oblivious to the snow that had just
started to fall.  I eventually caught my breath, and suggested we
head inside.

Once we were in the chalet, I hurried to get the fire going.  The 
snow was coming down quickly now, and it was rapidly getting dark 
outside. My boy scout training served me well, and soon a fire was 
burning well in the hearth.  The soft crackling of the wood was the 
only sound to be heard. Andrea returned from the kitchen with two 
glasses of champagne, and beckoned me to sit beside her, in front 
of the fire.  We stayed in each other's arms for quite some time.  

Still sitting in front of the hearth, I hugged Andrea gently.  She
glanced at me, and our eyes met.  I mouthed the words "I love you",
leaned towards her, and our lips met in a tender kiss.

What would you folks think of the following situation?

Suppose that there's a guy named John and that there's a gal named
Susie.  They usually schedule to meet once or twice a week.

However, Susie often breaks appointments.  The way in which she
breaks appointments is interesting.  She does not call the night
before the scheduled meeting date.  She calls about 15 minutes
before the scheduled meeting time to break the appointment.

I've got three questions, each assuming a different level in the
relationship:

(1) Suppose that John and Susie are just acquaintances.
    Is Susie's behavior appropriate?
(2) Suppose that John and Susie are just friends.
    Is Susie's behavior appropriate?
(3) Suppose that John and Susie are romantically involved.
    Is Susie's behavior appropriate?

Please send e-mail.  I'll post a summary of the responses.  Thanks
in advance.
