From: utzoo!decvax!duke!harpo!npoiv!npois!cbosgd!nscs!rmas70!cly Newsgroups: net.singles Title: Welcome to net.singles Article-I.D.: rmas70.196 Posted: Wed Sep 1 16:21:45 1982 Received: Mon Sep 6 01:34:18 1982 WELCOME to net.singles! I received quite a few replies to my original notice - enough to warrant starting the group. All replies were from males, a couple were from married men, and I got one flame saying I shouldn't post to net.general. Several hoped the group would not become a "market place". I assume they meant the classified ad type of thing - I concur. One reply suggested the name net.lonely-hearts. I'm sure he had his tongue planted in his cheek, but it does bring up a possible opening subject: stereotypes of singles. Are all singles lonely? Are we in a transitory state just waiting to get married? Are we all hedonists? Do we all have red 'vettes, condos, and the latest clothes? Do we only go to swinging singles bars? Are we all "swinging"? My life experience says "no" to all of the above. What do you think? I hope all contributers to this group will feel free to say how they REALLY feel (I'm sure you will!) and to submit comments on ANY topic to do with single life. Jump in!
