the little Sidewinder.  He's a slippery little devil, true -- but he's
small and not very fast yet.  Besides he's really only interested in

Des, I have a VERY GOOD idea of how many people I am pissing off. And quite
frankly, I don't care. This group that I am pissing off thrive on it. I am
only giving you and your buds an outlet so you don't lose it and climb up
on a tower with an assault rifle. Hey, I am doing the public a service.

Quit f*cking around....this from a person that posts at least 3 flames a
day. And could care less about the person that she is flaming. I at least 
know WHO and WHY I flame. Not just because it is fun showing my buds how
bad I can humiliate this newbie.

And Ed, I am surprised at you....after I gave you credit for your wit. Oh
well, maybe with practice.

Ta Ta,
Dan

ba.singles has given me some good data so far, so here's another inquiry.
I had heard of a singles club in this area for tall people: womeh 5'10+
and men 6'2"+ but I have not been able to find it in the phone books.  
Any subscribers of ba.singles know of such a place in the south bay area?

Aha!  The very fact that you even *mentioned* that there are such places is a
violation of your security clearance, and of the National Security Act of 1951
(or whatever year it was).

"You see, I work for this place that doesn't exist ... in fact, don't mention

but you could still infer that there *is* such a place, and then the boys from
the NSA will come by and take me away and expunge all traces of my existance,
right down to brainwashing my parents into believing that they never had me, and
everyone else I've ever met or have ever seen me, but then again, there *is*
no such place as the NSA, so please forget I *ever* said anything, or that I was
even here ... in fact, just forget that I exist, OK?"

Hello all you mutha's, 

I read this group in hope's that people would leave their personals,
and talk about places to meet for fun and frolic....am I wrong?

Is ba.singles only for people to bitch at each other!
Who cares about Tina and Dan, let's get back to enjoying each other's
company.

Let's stop this thread, let Tina post her say, look past the bigotry,
and get on with it!

They say we never lose the child in us, and it's so apparent when
reading this group....

Tina-you should realize that you are offending people, although you
might not mean to....maybe you should ask personal weight questions
after you get an e-mail conversation going, this way you can converse
on the net withoput being offensive, and still meet fun,interesting ,
people that YOU want to be around.

As for the rest of you, I agree, but why not let it end instead of the
constant reminder of this stupid remark...

How about listing favorite hang-outs not just for singles, but for
great beers, food. dance, whatever, music especially brings people
together..

Pay attention, Ed, when a canditate gets elected, THEN says,"I didn't know
that the problems were this bad!", while he had a short guy standing next
to him telling him that it was, this is not good. And if you believe that 
he didn't know, I have oceanfront property in Nebraska I would like to talk

the middle class a tax break......tax us until we break.

Hello, y'all. I just moved up here ("here" being the Bay Area) and stumbled
into this newsgroup on my way to ba.marketplace and thought I'd post a
quick message to clutter everyone's screen up a little.

Anyway, I read a few of the back messages and saw that you all have
get-togethers and stuff with at least some frequency and I was wondering
what one had to do to be welcome at one of these. I guess I'm also curious
about when and where the next one is scheduled.

Also, since I'm already posting something, I thought I'd ask if anyone has
any suggestions for a good microbrewery in the South Bay. Somewhere in
Santa Clara would be ideal.

And if anyone feels like dropping a semi-lonely new resident a "hello"
message, I sure wouldn't mind... :)

Have fun,

Well, this unsuspecting newby is going to do it. I'm going to try and meet
some of the strange and interesting personalities that inhabit this newsgroup.

The place? The Tied House, in Mountain View.

The date? Tomorrow (well, today by the time most of you read this, I presume),
   Tuesday, January 26th.

The time? 7:00ish...I imagine I'll be there for an hour or two, depending on
   whether or not anyone else shows up (despite my fondness for good micro-
   breweries, I don't like to hang out in them alone).

I'll be wearing blue jeans and a green shirt (and I wear glasses, too). I may
be reading a copy of _Dream_Park_, or maybe some local free newspaper or
something.

If you want to come by, please do...You'll make my evening (I'm easy to
please).

Drop me a line if you want to let me know you're coming, or just show up.

Let's just say that I am smart enough to set up the reject BEFORE some putz
tries to reply garbage to my mail account. Maybe that was why you were first
on the list to be rejected. And no, it isn't garbage, not if Mikey wants to
see pictures from a picnic in Cleveland. And from his one line mail message

Oh, and hun, the mail msg I sent to you was a mistake. I have 3 different news

author. Hey, it backfired on me too, I had to start back over from scratch to
