- I didn't read into the first user's post that writing to soc.penpals
- was ALL they do. I'm sure they have other interests, but like some of
- us who read this newsgroup, they would like the exchange of pen-mail as an
- _added_ activity and a way to meet some interesting friends. I don't
- know much about the mta@ca site, why some people can't get through to
- it or why someone feels there's only one user with dummy accounts.
- If the posts are legit, these people are only asking for what this
- newsgroup was created for ... contact with others, penpals, friendships,
- etc.
