- You know, it might be useful to get that new copy of the FAQ out and posted
- regularly, because I think alot of the lurkers, especially the new ones
- *really* have no clue what is and is not appropriate. I mean, I *know* alot
- of people are nervous and cautious, but sometimes it seems like people
- expect you to open up and tell them all your most intimate life details
- wihtout even telling you their own name. I try not to push people for
- details about themselves too much, but there does come a point where if
- you're going to be friends and write back and forth, it has to be a give and
- take. It takes trust on *both* parts.
-
- I haven't yet gotten any requests for hot sex, email or otherwise, from
- unknowns, but have gotten requests on how to go about posting for such.
- (what, am I now somehow supposed to be an expert????? Gee, when did I miss
- that post of mine? I haven't even gotten a chance to start *flirting* here!)
-
- So that *might* cut down on some of the problems, or at least give some
- information out there to people who want it so that there isn't as much
- email with the same questions over and over. I thought the last version was
- pretty good, by the way.
