Hi Chris, though I'm far away (in California) I liked your ad on alt.personals.

I like piano bars, don't like loud music and smoking.  I like to do things at
home as well as things out and about.

I'm 34, own a condo here (no small feat, it's expensive in the Bay Area),
and do software for a living.

first hand is having someone tell you about their own experiences.  If you've
traveled or live somewhere more interesing than Buffalo, or just want 
someone to write letters to about music or theatre or such...than drop a line 
and say hi.  It's easy, quick, and cheaper than a college education...

Hi I'm looking for a relationship that
is based on trust and intimacy.
So if you're caring, open, open minded,
and at least slightly out going then
write me.

I'm 20 years old and go to UC Davis.
I'm a psychology major, Bi-racial 
(black and white- but look hispanic.)
I'm also Bisexual and I don't care
for those who wish to perpetuate or
act out stereotypes.  I'm warm 
when you get to know me, and sometimes
too cerebral for my own good.
My preferences are large gay men of 
color (Samoan, Black, Hispanic, or 
Asian.) Large means tall, and fat or
muscle bound.  And between 18 to 28
years old.  I really like long straight
black or brown hair. 

**This is intended for someone in 
California or those near the Sacramento
/San Francisco area.
Hope to hear from you soon!!

  At least she has the courage to post from her real address and not hide
  behind an anonymous address.  You just dished out a rather harsh comment that
  I think falls far, far short of the truth and you wouldn't put your real
  name and address to it.  Thats called cowardice.  For the record, I never 
  bothered to view Rai's GIF neither do we have an e-mail friendship but 
  I think her posts and articles have been uniformly fun and entertaining to
  read and I've *never* gotten the impression that she's vain at all.

Subject: Lurker no more
Keywords: Homosexuality, motorcycles, Rai
Organization: Dept. of Mathematics, Rice University
Date: Mon, 5 Oct 1992 21:53:17 GMT

OK, I've lurked for a while here, and I followed the sage advice of an 
earlier poster: read to the end of the newsgroup before following up on 
a thread. So here's my $0.02 on several recent threads:

I am amazed that there are still men out there who are so insecure in their 
own sexuality that they exhibit a fear of faggotry, so to speak. As one who 
is exclusively heterosexual, I have no problems with it. I have lived in 
a heavily gay area for the past 10 years, as a matter of fact, and I am still 
amused and possibly flattered when one of my neighbors makes a pass at me. 
I was changing out the battery on my motorcycle this past weekend when a 
neighbor walked past, looked at the new battery, and said, ``DieHard...hmm, 
that's what my boyfriend calls my [reference to specific part of the male 
anatomy deleted].'' I laughed my ass off. Perhaps those of you who are 
so afraid of homosexuals haven't accepted the fact that everyone has both 
a male and a female component, and they are both equally important parts of 
being human. Anyway, I find Darkmoore and Arcane's postings quite funny, 
most of the time. So enough of the mindless anti-fag drivel.

Which brings me to the second thread: actually, Rai, I was going to suggest 
a motorcycle to replace your car, but someone beat me to it. It's probably 
just as well, considering the flamefest of anti-bike sentiment that followed. 
Ah, you poor benighted souls confined to four wheels...and yes, I have had 
two friends die on bikes, and I myself have been spit over the bars of one 
going 60+ mph, with no helmet. I still ride, and wouldn't trade it for 
anything. Then again, I have very high standards for myself, and I've never 
been content to merely push the envelope; I prefer to lick the flap on it 
and seal it shut;-)

Finally (yes, I know, this is getting to be considerably more than $0.02), 
regarding the ``go post elsewhere'' remarks of the net.police regarding 
Rai, I happen to like her postings. They usually bring a smile to my face 
on boring days at the office. At least Tyger had the ability to disagree with 
her in a mature fashion, as opposed to the asshole who revealed his mastery 
of the English language  with something to the effect of ``your name is ugly 
and you suck'' (sorry, I can't remember the exact quote...that's how memorable 
it was). This kind of thing barely merits a reply.

BTW, Rai, how about a copy of that GIF? I haven't been around this group 
long enough to get one when it was originally posted.

Also BTW, Tyger, this TygerBoink thingy sounds interesting;-)

Salud,	

Dave

Hear, hear! Net.people, please, let's not get all worked up about
lapses in grammar and spelling and punctuation; I flamed someone
a while back about their atrocious postings, and then discovered
that it's not good netiquette to chide people for having somewhat
mangled posts (so long as they're still intelligible -- some of
us may be on psychoactive substances when we log on!). I say
let's put this mess behind us and try to enjoy life more, okay?

(Appalled at what's happened in alt.personals after just a couple
of days not logging on -- we had a chemical fire in our building
and our Unix cluster was down for hardware maintenance, so I
could not even log in from home or elsehere on campus...)

Just my $0.02....

Hi, this is Adrian again.  I'm the kind, happy, and contented
person who posted the Lefty/Radical Queer personal some time
back.  The responses were quite interesting for the most part.
A few were nasty, but this is to be expected.

I recently received a message from one "ap.5183" which was
odious enough to merit sharing it with everyone else on the
network.  I append the message below in its entirety (complete
with run-ons and other grammatical beauties).  Byt the way,
I tried this before but made a mistake which caused 5183's
prose to be erased by the program which makes "anonymus"
posting possible.  
 
It is said that sunlight is the best disinfectant.  In that
spirit, here's your moment in the sun, dear ap.5183......

Who do you think you are in requesting someone like that.
If you reject the freedom of choice that our blessed country

Hi, there and thanks for taking the time to look into this message.

I am looking for an honest, friendly guy to begin a special friendship with.
You should be between the ages of 25 and 30, maybe a little older.  I
like men with tans and dark hair.  Hairy chest BIG plus.

I am 23. Brown eyes/brown hair.  Good sense of humor, straight acting.  I
enjoy skiing, music (some limits though), other interests will have to be
found out on your own.

I am not looking for feminine men or fat men.

E-mail me so that we can begin something.  Include where you live.
