Sorry to hear that...no, I meant that the site closes every day.  I use 
university machines since I haven't the money to buy my own.  One of these days.
However, if you do need to get in touch with me, my address etc. are below.

But I will check my e-mail religiously for more info.
Looking forward to seeing you, though!

This seems to be an appropriate place to make my announcement: I've been
converted!  This weekend I bought the Tori Amos EP _Crucify_.  I love it! 
Jesus Jones, she exudes more sensuality and sexuality than Madonna ever
can.  (No flames from Madonna fans -- I love her work too!)  Tori even
beats the pants off of Debbie Harry!  Now I'm hooked.  I bought it blindly
and was pleasantly surprised that along with two excellent original tracks
I got amazing covers of two of my favorite songs ("Angie" and "Thank You")
as well as a wonderful cover of a song that I can't help liking (although
I try hard not to!  :-) ), "Smells Like Teen Spirit".

Interesting you should ask this. I struggle a lot with this myself. I also
ask myself, when I'm outing myself, whether I'm doing it for shock value
(or other reaction) vs. a sincere and honest revealing of myself. Sometimes
the answer is obvious, but often it's in the grey area. In those cases I
tend towards outing, because I feel strongly that the more out we are,
the more accepted we will (one day) become. If my motives aren't always
pure, my action still furthers the cause, I think.

You ask specifically about discretion and safety. Look at your past behavior:
Do you tend to be impulsive, getting yourself into trouble? or are you 
more like me, so inclined to safety that you miss many opportunities?
If you find yourself sitting on the fence "between discretion and
safety on one hand and sincerity and openness on the other", I would
suggest you jump to the side that you don't usually! 

As a result of these issues, I've found it easier to come out to
people whom I care little about, while it's been harder to come out
to friends with whom I would like to be open and honest. <sigh>
Just me being human.....

Now that I no longer have a reason for lurking (isn't anonymity grand?), I
wanted to jump in and say hi.  "HI!"

Eventually I hope to stop hiding behind an anonymous number, but for now
it feels great to finally take part in the discussions.

I've suffered the sting of bi-wariness, I've come out to family and friends,
I've had my share of bad hair days, and yes...I occasionally would like to ask
for a hug.

Thanks to all of you for being here.

Actually, if you read Graydon's posts, one of his agenda items
in choosing to answer ungrammatically is to see if it bothers
(or, I suppose, delights) the other person.  If the questioner
isn't irritated, then, Graydon says, "you're probably OK."

This, from a guy who rants against those who stick people into bins.
The message is: anyone who doesn't have the patience for little
games like this, isn't worth knowing.  Awful big bin, lots of
perfectly OK people in it.

Well you missed a post, because it went on for a half a page. 
(Of course, since this is Graydon, maybe it would only have been
four lines coming from most people.)

If he said, "a person", that would be more obvious.  By answering
"a people", he had some other ideas in mind (according to him).
One of them was to be disarmingly cute, since he sees his public
persona as vaguely threatening.  (Never having met him face to
face, I don't know how justified this worry is.)  My personal
experience with people who try to be disarmingly cute from the
start is that you're better off keeping your guard up a little bit,
if only to avoid getting your ear talked off by seeming to be too
receptive of an audience.

>Calling it an "agenda" makes me wonder about your own "agenda".
>We all have thoughts beyond the words we choose, ideas that we

Words can't say it all.  Graydon, sinister?  I don't think so.
My hidden agenda?  Gosh, what sinister motives might lie behind
this peeve of mine, this absurd bias toward people who express
themselves directly and unaffectedly....well, if you ever figure
it out, please e-mail me.

  One of my closest friends in highschool, used to put me down for not being
  a total lesbian like she was.  We used to talk all the time about our
  involvements but she plainly wasn't interested if my present involvement
  was male.  Coming out is hard enough without someone telling you you're
  ok, but not really ALL THAT wonderful.  We fooled around a fair bit but
  she would never consider me for a commited relationship because I'd probably
  "ditch her for a man"  Despite it, we remained friends.  Course that -was-
  highschool, I haven't seen her since I moved here.
