    To whom it may concern
I've read many of the letters on the board, it is apparent that
personals mean a lot of diffrent things. But my interp. is, personal
adds are for people to meet people not read some scrambled gobblygook
addressed to ALL. Don't want to offend the weak at heart but @#*&
happens if you get my meaning.
Any way I'm new on the board what the hell do I know.
     (response) I've checked out the so called romance lines (lots of
Romance there) ya rite. I thought I'd check this one to (but alass I
still find a lack of WOMEN to interface with). SO agian here goes I'm
not very good at small talk and occaisionaly very blunt, but I'm honest
if youre over 25 and under 45 drop me a line my name is AL I'll even try
my hand at small talk.

If you are referring to the college degree SB - Science Baccalaureate.

It is the equivalent of a BA (Bachelor of the Arts) in the Sciences or
Engineering disciplines.

A lot of people know what it is... Would you prefer BS (BullShit)?

OK... to send mail to a distribution list using VAX/VMS

create a file (using your editor of choice) called "LIST.DIS" or "STORY.DIS"
or whatever you want to call it. In that, one per line, put the mail addresses
of all the recipients of the mail message. Now go to the mailer, and in the
TO: prompt, put "@LIST" or "@STORY" or whatever you called your list. It
will automatically send carbon copies to everyone on the list.

Hope this helps...

  Hi  Everybody,



 I'm a 23 year old (soon..) SWF and I'd like to hear from people
 and change some  *erotic*  e-mail..  ( NO OBSCENITIES, please.)
 I'm 5'7" and 112 lbs if that matters now. I like reading, watching
 films, TV and videos; eating out, dancing, going parties..
 I think I'm usually easy-going but not in important matters..
 ... like relations ... I am a student now.


 I'm trisexual :-)  since I like myself, too. :-)) I'd be most
  interested to hear from similar people..

     Get write.. sorry, probably I won't answer everybody due to
  lack of time..

     Love,

Re: Then why don't they reply ? WHY ?

Well, for one thing you don't say where you live.  Many people ignore
messages that don't explicitly say where the person posting lives.

Another problem is that you don't say very much about yourself.
Things like your height and weight don't tend to lead to very
interesting conversations.  And there are so many computer
professionals on the net that describing yourself that way doesn't
make you stand out from the crowd.  Try talking about your hobbies,
your tastes in music or books, or anything that makes you seem a 
little different than anybody else.

Finally, many people are turned off by ads with a whining or
belligerent tone.

If you want people to take the time to reply to your message, shouldn't
*you* put a little more thought and effort into composing your ad?

Victoria, Just saw this thread and I do agree with you completely. However,
I would like to say to net.women that there are many genuinely nice guys
on the net. They are sensitive and understanding and are capable of 
corresponding on many levels. I wanted to point out by my post that it
wasn't the content necessarily that bothered me it was the fact there was
no previous base of introduction. I think e-mail is a good outlet for
discussing intimate things. Anyway I do hope that more women post and are
not discouraged by bad experiences. I have recieved numerous apologies
from men who thought perhaps there post was the one that offended me. (These
were persons that did not see the original post)

Well, that about says it all and to the Men I correspond with regularly:

muscular built), light brown skin, and a graduate student. Would like talk,
chat and more with SF (preferably between 20 to 30 yr old). If you like to
have fun, are adventurous and wild or you like to just cuddle beside the fire
place, watch the starry night laying beside each other on a roof top; lets
talk. I am both "wild" and "down to earth" depending on the company and mood.
I might add that am not looking for a life partner but wont discount the

Really?
I have never resorted to name calling, OR gossip-mongering. Please show me
chapter and verse of what I have posted that supports your claim. 

As for flaming the "wrong" person...that is merely your own opinion, which
you are entitled to.  We apparently disagree on personalities. 

Also, the fact that these people may be on a BBS (that I obviously do not
frequent) is no reason to call someone a moron for not knowing this.  They 
ARE posting HERE.  And it is THESE posts here that I am responding to. I
could (couldn't?) care less what they do on their BBS.
 

I also do not follow this newsgroup any more. A thread caught my eye and I
somehow found myself involved in this.  I dislike flames and I try my best
to insert reason and rationality into what is going on in order to stop
it.  I should know better than to try with this group...

Hi! I was hoping to see some ads here to which I'd want to respond, but so far,
no luck. So here goes. I'm 20, 5'10", about 180. I'm interested in all things 
Japanese, including the martial arts. I am a student with a psych major, who 
takes his work very seriously, but I also try to take having a good time just as
seriously. I'm very sensitive, and I'm looking for someone with whom I can kick
back and relax with, someone who knows when to be serious, but who also knows 
when to be silly.
If you are such a woman, please Email me, who knows what could happen. . . ?

Hi.  I'm interested in starting some email correspondence with women
in the 18-26 year range.  If you're not in that range, but _feel_ like
you're in that range, that's OK.  If you don't understand what I mean
by that, don't bother. ;)

I'm not necessarily looking for romance.  I just find that I
communicate better with my female friends so I'd like to make some
more.  However, I am always open to what might develop from a good
friendship.

I'm 21.  For a lengthy description, write me.
