- Just to add yet another perspective...
-
- There are also attractive women authors, teachers, career people etc. who
- access the newsgroup at home. Where as an attractive busy woman may not care
- to bother with the dating scene or may be bored with local prospects, i'ts no
- big deal to flip on the computer while the coffee's brewing in the morning etc.
- It should come as really no surprise. Teenage girls naturally communicate via
- telephone, answering machines are common, voice mail, fax and
- modems are hardly that removed.
-
- Repent thy stereotypic ways and pray ye to thy motherboard, blessed be she and
- may thy data be saved.
