CMR>I've been on this thing for over 2 weeks and still no response, I
CMR>see all these letters saying write me but they never write anyone else, and
        Well, you also have to consider that there can be quite a lag
sometimes.  I just recently got back into the net here (I've been doing
this for just over two years) and I STILL haven't heard back form anyone
that I messaged.  But these would include people in New York and
Northern Canada, so I'm giving them a week longer.

CMR>they expect a response, I have written many letters to
CMR>people asking "will you please write me, I'm on my hands and knees, and so
CMR>on...." But they never respond to your responce.  To get
CMR>something I think you have to give to recive (what a novel concept) Im no ma
        I agree with you totally.  Too many people like that.  But the
ones who REALLY get me are those who come on begging for a message so
they don't flunk a computer awareness class.  I almost never respond to
those, unless the user ALSO chats about themselves and shows some signs
of being interested in the echo.

CMR>p.s. if you want to know somethings about me here they are, im 18, in the 12
CMR>grade (senior), live in San Leandro (bay area), listen to metal (make no
CMR>differnce to me what you listen to), lead singer in a metal band (not saying
CMR>it just for a response), like to go to the ocean (learning to surf)
CMR>and just like to have a good time!!!!!!!!!!!!!

        "The old man he prepares
         to die regretfully...
         that old man he was me....

         What I've felt, what I've known
         never shines on what I've shone
         never free, never me, so what
                of the unforgiven...."

        Sorry, am listening to the Unforgiven my Metallica and I like it
so much I just felt the need to share it with the world.  Not that I GET
the song, just that I like it.  But "One" is better, unfortunately MTV
only plays it once in a blue moon, and the college radio station doesn't
like to play it because it's long and the DJs are easily bored.  Ugggh.
        Aaaaaaanyway....  I'm 17 and a senior.  I was born in Berkely,
but welfare got tiresome after, oh six years or so (my parents had
divorced early and Mom wasn't exactly earning 35 thou), so we moved to
Montana.  I might go back some day.  I don't really like metal all that
much.  I prefer alternative and oldies (I'ma BIG fan of Credence
Clearwater Revival, they came from the bay area and were incredibly big
in the lat 60's early 70's, maybe you've heard of them).
        I'm not into anything that's mainstream cool, like being in a
band or surfing (it will be a cold day in hell when...).  I'm sort of a
computer geek (by the standards of Montana cowboy-boot wearing football
players).  I read tons and tons.  I like to do odd things to make life
more interesting; I spent most of this summer up on the continental
divide building a small shack (for lack of abetter word) to house
amateur radio equipment.  It's mostly the work of three people, and we
had to carry all the cement, mortar, cinderblocks, adn water up the side
of the mountain by ourselves.  The first time I tried to pick up one of
the bags of cement, I forgot to lift with my legs and I heard/felt
something in my lower back go <sproing!>.  I couldn't bend over for two
weeks.
        THIS message is long enough, I think! WGBTYL
