Hi, I'm new to this group, and I won't be posting very often, but having
read this note, I feel compelled to reply.
	Fuck you, pal. I'm sick of you judgemental assholes who have 
nothing good to say about anyone and always want to belittle or drag
other people down. I've noticed this a lot on Internet stuff like
usenet, email lists, games, etc. If Michelle Lynn Anderson enjoys
typing on a computer, what the hell business of it is yours?
"nothing better to do"? Maybe she enjoys typing on the fucking
computer. Oh, and btw, why are you typing on the computer? Don't you
have anything better to do?

Oh, yeah, I just bet you have. If your real life personality is anything

enough to go out with you. Has a girl ever gone out with you more than

Well, though I'm sure most people turn to alt.personals for the argument about
gays, I want to see what you think of this thought I had.

First, I am a white person.  Second, I won't say whether I'm gay or not, that's
quite the stupid thing to proclaim here where I go to school.  Regardless, I
have to say that, in the area of discrimination, I think today, gays suffer
more in the long run.  Granted, a black person can not hide himself as gays can
when they feel they may be harrassed for being who they are.  However, because
they are forced to deal with racism, they, at some point in their life, find
some way to appropriately deal with it, whatever method that may be.  In
effect,, blacks are forced to resolve for themselves that the discrimination is
a bunch of crap and they can then move on to whatever they want.

However, gay men have that choice to hide their orientation.  And, trust me
when I say gay people, who haven't reached a similar point in their lives
concerning discrimination, will tend to hide it.  This will never solve the
problem of homophobia, it only exacerbates it.  Sure, it might save you from a
fight in the present, but I feel it's much worse for the person in the long
run.  

Well, just wondering what others think about this...

I've been lurking on personals for a long time, but after hearing
about the way female posters get buried in mail... I've been
hesitant to post myself.

On the other hand, if I could meet one really special man... it would
be worth it.  I've scanned the [D/S]?M ISO ??F a hundred times but when
I see someone who looks worthwhile, he's always a thousand miles away.

First, a little about me.... I'm 5'7", somewhat slender, and have
blond hair which is almost dark enough to call brown.  I'm in my
early thirties.  I enjoy movies, books, music (esp. Folk Rock),
walking, Star Trek, games, tennis and talking.  I could list another
dozen things I enjoy doing, because I'm really not a fanatic about
anything.  I work in engineering at a large computer company.

Here's the thing that will probably turn away most of you. :(
I live in Boise, Idaho.  If you live in Portland or Salt Lake,
maybe we could take turns driving.  If you live in the Bay Area...
I hope that you have a plane or something, because it's an awfully
long drive.

The ideal man for me is intelligent without thinking that he has
all of the answers.  He is a gentleman and a professional.
He's not overly possessive nor is he terrified of commitment.
He's honestly interested in a relationship.  He's taller than
average and not obese.  He can be of any race, religion or national
origin.  He is considerate and definitely not a jerk.  He makes
me laugh and knows how to listen.  He has friends of his own and
isn't jealous of the time I spend with my friends.

Please don't respond if you live 1000 miles away, and have no
practical suggestion for how we might meet!!  Also, if you don't
fit the description (or aren't even close), please... don't flood
my mailbox.

If you do write, please tell me your name (just a first name or
even a handle so that I can remember you), where you live, your
profession, and a general physical description.  If I can, I'll
respond to everyone.

Let's get something straight right here...people in marriages are quite
capable of making their own decisions.  If she didn't want to sleep with 
you, she wouldn't have.  *You* didn't cause her any pain...if she got
hurt because of sleeping with you, it is very much her responsibility.
To be honest, if she was sleeping with other people and not telling her
husband, then there was a wrench in the relationship already, so don't
let your head get big.  If you choose to not sleep with married people,  
then do so to save yourself from the emotional ups and downs it will
cause you.

>       So some advice... don't FUCK with someone else's marriage.  Cause
>someone just might FUCK with yours!!!

The idea that someone can be "stolen" away or "seduced" without them having
any say in the matter is pretty archaic.  If your spouse wants to sleep
with someone, he/she will find someone...They always have.

And what powerful military forces they are.  The military is an
institution of camaraderie.  I think you would somewhat lose this
camaraderie if you acknowledged homosexuals in the military.  Working
with a homosexual is one thing.  Living with one is something different. 
Having been in the Army, I would say the only way to allow gays in the
military would be to provide separate housing, which would be kind-of
hard to do in a time of war.

Hi All 
	I have a few questions about Marine Eels.  Any Help would be great!
At the present I have a 29 gallon salt tank with 4 damsel ( blue reef) the damsel are cycling the tank.  I will sell these fish back to my dealer once all my 
nitrates are in check. Here come the questions

	1.I realize I will need to stick to small species but which ones
	 will do the best in my tank?

	2.Will they eat feeder goldfish?

	3.What types of fish will I not be able to keep w/ a Eel?

	4.Does anybody know of a book I can buy to help me keep 
	 my eel happy?

	5.Is there anything I should know about before I buy an Eel
	 Please be honest.

I have a Biologic 402 on my tank and things seem to be going great so far.  
temp will be held between 78-80 degrees.
After I sell my damsels back I would like to buy a anemone and a percula 
clown, Will the clown be O.K..  

Any help would be great!! 
Please help!
Thanks

If you're in danger of stirring up a lot of sediment, then you might want
to consider moving the fish until it settles.  If you're using a
gravel/sand/combination which won't stir up (i.e. heavier particles, and
clean)  then you should have no problem.  

I'm rearanging plants in my tank all the time (either the plants grow to 
darn fast (not the rooting plants generally) or a pleicostimus (excuse
the spelling) decides to do some rearranging.)

I have worked an evening tour a few times, and just set my timers to my 
schedule.  The lights went on at 3:00pm, and went off about 1:30am. I was 
able to see (and feed) the fish before leaving for work, and watch them at
night before going to bed. The fish adapted without any problems. They also
seemed to adapt to my tour shifts without any problems, but I tried to change
the schedule over a week or so (timers are wonderful things).

You COULD use a dim RED bulb to watch noctournal fish, but keep the intensity
real dim. This will work for all but the most light sensitive fish. Of course,
most community fish will just stay asleep and still, so this isn't the most 
interesting way to watch your average community tank.
