	I would like to comment on the piece of mail posted in this
newsgroup refering to single parents and the flames associated. What is
your problem? You seem to feel as though we put you in that position.
You should consider yourself lucky even to have children. I'm not even
going to try to guess what went wrong with your marriage, this is something
only you will ever understand. But losing your temper certainly doesn't
help me form a good impression of you. If I were you, I wouldn't go around
thinking that your past mistakes somehow entitle you to our understanding
and devotion. Life is tough, pal. I want a piece of it, too. You had better
understand that your mistakes put you at our mercy. That is the hard line
way of looking at, I admit, I certainly don't want you to crawl into a hole
and suffer, but I have a life, too, and it certainly isn't my fault that you
are in the position you currently find yourself in. Go crazy, and I'm sure
you will find many institutions more than willing to take your children off
your hands. In my opinion, I feel that if you have children, you should
consider yourself a very fortunate individual, and if you forget this,
you will be making the mistake that could kill you. You are an example, pal,
be a good one.

	How about net.foam?
