Let's actually SPELL OUT the conventions so that the confusion is minimized: (Note: the ? stands for any one character) S?? = Single M?? = Married D?? = Divorced G?? = Gay (Homosexual) B?? = Bisexual ?W? = White ?B? = Black ?A? = Asian ?J? = Jewish ??M = Male ??F = Female Maybe we should have people list: Age, Location, abbreviated description of self and abbreviated description of what they're looking for. Sound good, or is that too strict and unreasonable? -- "Protect endangered species! Contribute to the Exxon Supporter's Fund!" "Pay no attention to that little man behind the keyboard." "If you want to look for fish, best not to look in desert." "The greatest beauty in the world is beauty that is private."
