Howdy!  My name is Tom Nagle and I am a junior from Penn State University.  Thi
s summer, I am plan on making a travelling around the world and I want to know
if anyone wants to go along for the ride!  I plan on leaving Pennsylvania in ea
rly May and start traveling west until I hit Pennsylvania again!  I am leaving
this note on the network for a couple of reasons: 1)I want to see if anyone wan
ts to go along for he ride (either the whole way or just part of the way) and 2
) to anyone in a foreign country or another state, I'd appreciate it if you cou
ld send me some info(tips, hints on where to stay, where to go, what to do,etc.
).  This should be a journey of a lifetime, so try to make it. Currently, there
 are about six of us going.  We plan on travelling light and inexpensively, and
 we plan on having the time of our lives!  Hope you'll be able to make it!  My
name, once again, is Tom Nagle and I live at 317 Packer Hall, University Park,
PA. 16802.  My userid is TBN103- drop me a line anytime.  Peace.

                                               Later,
                                                     Tom  :)

Several months ago, I placed an ad for correspondants and found myself  
swamped with mail, but I met a lot of really cool people and had a very  
good time.  As you can tell, there are now several women that are  
following my example and are posting.  I hope that all of you people who  
say that women don't post will notice that I have done my part to get more  
women on this group.  I do want to say, however, that this does not mean  
all Gustavus women are desperate!  I think that the popularity that has  
been built up here is incredibly funny and seems to be a sweeping college  
fad.  May you all enjoy talking to us Gustavus women!

Well, Julie - I would contend that long-term relationships are *never*
something you can expect to "automatically receive" under *any*
circumstances.  I guess that some people really do fall in love at
first sight, but most people go through some process of getting to
know one another and learning to trust one another (among other things)
before making the decision to commit to anything deeper.  While I won't
say it *can't* happen, I find it EXTREMELY unlikely that two people
will ever genuinely fall in love via the net!

I do believe, however, that long-term relationships can *begin* via
the net.  The network is a tool which, among other things, allows
people whose paths might not otherwise have crossed to meet.  E-mail
correspondence is a way to get to know someone and find out about
their interests and such.  A personal ad also does one more thing - it
takes away guesswork and awkward questions.  A well-written personal ad
should effectively communicate the author's intent.  Perhaps that 
intent is that said person would like to hear from persons interested
in a long-term relationship.  Fine!  With luck, ONLY persons who are
also interested in a long-term relationship will respond.  That doesn't
bind anyone to anything - all it does is let the two people know where
the other is coming from without trying to come up with a clever way
of indirectly asking the question.

From there, it's up to the people involved - if they really get along
well and like one another, they will probably arrange to meet at some
point, and then see what if anything develops from there.  But the net
serves as a starting point.  IMO.

Hello everyone-
	Thanks for the overwhelming response for email. But my question  
is, why do people go looking for specific long term relationships on the  
computer? That is not something you can just advertise for and expect to  
automatically receive, especially from an impersonal computer. O.K. I'm  
done with my opinion-maybe I should have put this in the editorials  
instead. I'm sorry if this annoyed anyone.

They are all the women who have posted for "penpals" with the mail

Just to add yet another perspective...

There are also attractive women authors, teachers, career people etc. who
access the newsgroup at home.  Where as an attractive busy woman may not care
to bother with the dating scene or may be bored with local prospects, i'ts no
big deal to flip on the computer while the coffee's brewing in the morning etc.
 It should come as really no surprise.  Teenage girls naturally communicate via
telephone, answering machines are common, voice mail, fax and
modems are hardly that removed.  

Repent thy stereotypic ways and pray ye to thy motherboard, blessed be she and
may thy data be saved.
