- Oh, I see. How do you approach a prospective mate ?
- Do you walk up to them and whip it out ?? Get a grip,
- mate. There are differing approaches to every problem.

- Not at all. The post is a passive offering. The reader
- has the choice of what to do. Pursue or pass-up. X-}

- Respond to one and you'll probably find out more

- I dunno, Chris. Your post was pretty stupid and
- YOU posted it! ;-)
-
- >with all sincerity
- Gee CSJ ... perhaps there are demure people on the
- net who are frightened of being flamed directly,
- or perhaps they *MIGHT* not want their employers
- to discover their posts ... or whatever. It is
- REALLY their business. Flame them if you feel
- like it, but their choice to remain anonymous is
- THEIR choice like it is your choice to stick
- your milky white soft vulnerable throat in the
- direct path of the Guillotine's speeding blade!

- Sincerely,
