- "So where did you meet her?"
-
- "You know, it's the strangest thing. I've spent three years on the Net,
- reading alt.romance, alt.romance.chat, soc.singles, soc.singles.nice, and all
- that. Nobody worth anything.
-
- "Then one day this guy posts some flamebait male chauvinist message in there--
- Reggie somebody. So I make a nasty response to him, and suddenly I find out
- I've posted in misc.test. Getting all the network responses, and all that.
- There's really not that many--only five or six. I always thought you'd get
- hundreds...
-
- "Anyway, I get another mail message a couple of days later. Seems this girl
- was reading through misc.test and saw my message. She had to have seen it
- there--it didn't even show up on soc.singles. She said she liked my .sig, and
- the way I expressed myself. We started talking via mail, and a couple of
- realtime chats. She says she can't use the phone too much in her apartment,
- especially not for long distance 'cause it's too noisy. So we've only gotten
- together on the net--MUDs, talk mode, that kind of thing. But she says she's
- going to be graduating soon, and she might be looking for a job in this
- area..."
-
- "That's great? So what's her name?"
-
- "Rachel."
