- Am I glad that someone got the ball rolling. I miss a day reading
- the news, and lo and behold, there are 13 messages in ne.singles.
- It's like the watched kettle that never boils. I was too chicken
- to start posting myself and I thought maybe the group wasn't what
- it seemed to be.
-
- Obviously, the distribution of ne.singles would not be limited
- to NY. And I know for a fact that one gets it in MA - aren't I
- smart? But is there a way to globally limit distribution to NE
- and NY? If people neglect to specify the distribution will the
- postings go all over the world like in other groups? That would
- be a pity. Where can I look up abbreviations that are understood
- by usenet (for distribution)? Will "ne" work? "ne,ny"?
-
- Anyway, I'd love to meet some people (or "talk" to them) who might
- share some of my interests and characteristics. I just started
- an assistant professorship in chemistry at Smith College in
- Northampton, MA (in the middle of the state, equidistant from
- Boston and Albany, Hartford and Burlington). I am a 29-yr-old
- woman, an avid horse riding enthusiast who also loves to read
- novels and mysteries, to travel in Europe, to dance (especially
- ballroom dancing), and to converse (and who does not approve of
- MENSA - no flame intended, just a statement of fact).
-
- Whereas I would be ecstatic about, say, a Nobel prize or a gold
- medal in an Olympic dressage competition, I would be content to
- find some friends in the area who might like to go riding or
- dancing with me. And if there were actually an interesting
- MAN among them, that would be quite nice. (I am 5'7", slender,
- and attractive, and I have brown hair and hazel eyes.)
- Meanwhile, I am happy if I can find some people on the net to
- "talk" to about anything and everything.
