Hi again!

Jim Philips sent me mail about Taco Mac and also included an interesting
idea.  Jim, I hope you don't mind me posting it.  It sounds cool to me. :)
What do y'all think?

"... we need a bar or cafe theme for this news group. Regular personals ads
really suck. I don't want to read somebody's resume. I want to know who
they are and what they think. My favorite Russian news group is called
Cafe: about Love. Everybody comments on the coffee, then pours out his
thoughts. It's full of good stuff. And this news group, I've noticed, is a
little on the bare side. What do you think?"

I like it!  We'd have to come up with a name, an atmosphere, maybe some
simple rules...there's an alt group out there that's like this, but I can't
remember the name right now.  They had different "rooms" for people who
needed to rant or cry or whatever.  

Maybe this is the kind of thing that needs its own group.  What do you
netgods out there think?
