- Yeah, right. How soon we forget that the original purpose of
- alt.personals was, uhh, you know, personals. Back then, the cry
- was "keep your mindless babble in the appropriate mindless-babble
- groups like alt.sex and soc.singles." And then the noisy cretins,
- with their deliberately obtuse bullbleep about "but if it's about
- me, it's personal, so there," spoiled this group completely,
- so alt.personals.ads was created for, uhh, you know, personal ads.
- Now the same gang of idiots, or their intellectual peers, are shouting
- "But if it advertises my personality, it must be a personal ad,
- so there." Anyone for creating alt.personals.ads.only? And then, a
- year later, we'll have alt.personals.ads.only.really.i.mean.it, and then
- alt.personals.ads.for.people.who.are.advertising.to.meet.other.people.
- with.specific.characteristics.and.thats.all.nothing.else.really.
-
- It won't help. One of the Eternal Truths of Usenet: there's no escaping
- from idiots.

- ObPersonal: hey, I don't have to put an ObPersonal here, because
- this is alt.personals, where personals are not obligatory. However,
- if any literate and articulate person would like to exchange mail with
- a 30-something straight white male, who is not looking for anything in
- particular, with the object of fun in whatever form it might take, well,
- that would be ok.
