Another good alternative way to post personal messages and listen to
the messages of others is through a phone service like:

         ZIP CODE 69 - AMERICA'S KINKY POST OFFICE    312-465-7200


This is a voice BBS offering personal voicemail boxes and various
message bases of interest to all sexual lifestyles. 

There is no charge to post messages or listen to any messages (except
whatever you pay for a phone call to Chicago -- about 12-13 cents a
minute during off-peak and weekend hours). There is no charge to have
a voicemail box, but you buy a passcode to listen to messages left in
your box or if you want to leave messages to others you hear in the 
personals.  The passcode is $20, that buys about 25-30 accesses to the
box to pick up your mail, etc (or leave messages to other boxes.)

A lot of people are finding voicemail a much preferable way to meet
others of similar interests without having to wait for magazine ads to
be published, replies to be forwarded, etc.

The operator of this service (312-465-7200) has agreed to give free 20
minute passcodes (you probably would get 4-5 calls of 4-5 minutes
each) free to Usenet readers who want to try the system, and hopefully
give good reports about it on the net.

When you call, enter 0 (zero) as the 'new user passcode' and follow
the voice prompts by pressing the buttons on your touch tone phone.

Reading this reminded me of something I once saw floating around on the

    I wish I could drink like a lady
    I can take one or two at the most
    Three I'm under the table
    Four I'm under the host.

They're already there, aren't they?
Always have been, always will be.  Some are probably even lifers.  In
fact, I know of two, one a senior NCO the other a Lieutenant Colonel.
The LtCol came out after several years, but the NCO had never hidden
his preference.  In fact,he was drafted, told them then and at every
reenlistment interview he took.  When he wanted to reenlist for the
last time to vest in his pension they denied him.  Was it because he
is gay, or 'cause some asshole wanted to deny him his retirement.

Alan, like this newsgroup, I've seen a number of intelligent and helpful
individuals in newsgroups like soc.singles and soc.couples who would
probably be quite happy to offer some ideas.  There might be others,
but those are the only ones that come to mind right now.  Hope that
helps.

How abouthaving _four_ types of showers rather than two (male/female),
i.e. gay males anf females and straight males and females.  With all the
money that the military gets, I'd think that they could hire consultants 
to work out the bugs quite efficiently so that there wouldn't be such 
rampant hate going around.

Why would it generate problems.  The only problems would be those already in
straight peoples's minds.  I just saw on CNN a straight army man who
was being interviewed about his views on gays in the military and his 
ignorance was absurd.  He had concerns about blood.  About having to take
orders from a gay man (or woman).  Why does it matter if a gay man or
a straight woman are commanders?  I have yet to see nay women with these
paranoias.  As for blood, how about mandatory testing, say, once a month, 
like most homosexuals already do.  But, doesn't the military already
test soldiers extensively.  I would hope so.  Especially with them 
all coming back from third world countries that do not have vaccinations for
diseases that haven't existed in this country for decades.

the world may not be ready for it, but it better get ready.  What kind of

other countries about their rampant homophobia (maybe 'cause it doesn't exist)

Anyone there?
