Heh. Only those with a deep appreciation for woods, water, and mountains.
And that's what they always say, too ... "I'll bet you say that to
all the women."  Sheesh, as if I didn't have *some* standards :-)

Besides, some women just don't look their best in lycra tights.

 Looks like monday. Looks like crab legs again. Damn I hate that.
 8 o'clock or 7 o'clock is good for me.
 
 So if anybody is interested email MaX, Nance or me.
 Now I won't have to worry about any pesky email.
 Did I mention the little candles that keep the butter nice and steamy?
 
 If your really hard up for a babysitter (Nance) I might be able
to work something out. As a last resort.

Just out of curiosity, I'd like to know a couple of
things - first off, why Prakash thinks that Kiran's
posts are any different - OTHER than that they are
from Kiran - than any of the rest of our more serious
posts (since it's apparent it was the serious posts
Prakash was referencing).

Two - what kind of posts does Prakash think Kiran
SHOULD be making?  Or ANY of us - for that matter?

Prakash, if you are objecting to the serious tone of
the posts that Kiran has made - mostly, lately, in
answer to Kevin - then it seems what you are looking
for is a different group.  If you are only wanting
the short, bantering type of posts, you should go
read another group - like alt.romance.chat.

IF, however, you are objecting to WHAT he has said,
rather than the way he has said it, then instead of
attacking HIM, and his posting style - post your OWN
reactions to the content.

I think UseNet is here for the exchange of information.
If you don't like the information, or the way the
information is presented, then you have the right to
not read the information.  Or you have the right to
present your OWN version of the information.  You also
DO have the right to attack another person's style,
but that is rather counter-productive, as it tends to
cause people to avoid reading YOUR ideas just on general
principle...
