	Well JD, I would have to agree with you that my name seems to be 
looking for trouble.  But I look at it this way, my nick has nothing to do with
wanting relay sex, or sex in general.  I take requests in good humour, the 
first time.  Unfortunately many of the users, especially those on Saudi nodes
do not seem to get the hint.  So I will /ignore them.  That just pisses them
off and they send to me direct, and harrass me until I ignore them with xyzzy.

	You see, I have otherppl ask too, but nobody takes it to the same 
extreme.  I don't mind being *politely* asked about my nick, for realy sex, 
or about my sexual preferences.  I am open about that.  What I do mind is 
verbal and sexually harrassed by users who think that they are G_d's gift
to relay women (and men when they are not sure.)  I have brought this up to 
many Ops, and MOps (you know who you are)  and I have sent log files to 
OPRNAD@SAUMP00 when it concerned his users.  The response from OPRNAD and 
*some* relay ops has been, "We can't do anything."  A few ops believe something
*should* be done but have no power to do it.  All I want to see is someone stop
the harrassment or start taking more action than has been in the past.
