-
- Did Diane say anything about how you are "supposed" to act? Nope, not
- at all. I think I got ya pegged, wing-footed one...yer a Psych major
- with a vacancy. No offense intended, it probably isn't your fault.
-
- >being honest? Honest about what? Should I tell you junk about my life
- >first before posting anything?
-
- Are you calling us "junk"? In reference to posting, perhaps you should
- read this group (or ANY new group) a few weeks before leaping in. Some
- newsgroups don't require this but with some it is wise.
-
- >Sorry about all the questions. Like I said, I'm new here.
-
- Why don't you pick out someone at random and write them email and gain
- knowledge this way?
-
-
- >Are these questions invalid? Is there no way that an interesting
- >conversation could start up?
-
- Is the question "Should I be a man or a woman" invalid? 'scuse me,
- Hermes, you wouldn't happen to be blonde, would you? (grandiose
- apologies to all blondes for such a remark but the stereotype fit)
-
- If you are seriously wondering whether you should be physically male
- or female then perhaps you should start reading and posting in some
- alt.sex..whatever group. If you are referring to psychological
- attributes of a male or female then start reading in alt.support or
- whatever else you can find. IF you are just trying to start an
- interesting discussion on a fantasy of choosing your gender then post
- to alt.romance.chat, that newsgroup welcomes ALL kinds of silly stuff.
- If it is too silly they will ignore you though, be warned.
-
- >Here I am asking questions again. :) I'm sorry, but I don't see what
- >the big deal is. :(
-
- This particular newsgroup is not for such questions as you have posed.
- Maybe you should write me and I can explain it in more detail and not
- waste bandwidth here.
-
-
- >Is playing dumb like putting on an act? See, I have some dumb in me and
-
- Ahhh, you score another point, good job. Yes, playing dumb is "like"
- putting on an act.
-

- Ah well, parts is parts...what the hell.

-
- Strike another point .... you should have put a question mark at the
- end in lieu of the exclamatory. No, you are not like a saint or
- something.
-
-
- >What groups? I'm like a bicycle. Steer me and I'll go!
-
- (puts head down and really sobs in pain this time)...*shudder*, how
- about unsubscribing here and go to , oh, how about talk.bizarre. That
- newsgroup will welcome you and your admirable persistence.
-

-
- What truth? You mean, ...*drum roll*...the Truth? !!! In answer to
- that,...no. Yeah *long sigh*, maybe you were wrong.

-
- *head whirls madly*... uh, apology accepted, I think. bye Hermes, have
- a nice life as a man/woman, whatever you decide.
