A wise man you are--and I could be wiser if had taken this into consideration.
Good point. I would say it depends on what you're looking for--two starry-eyed
types could do very well together no doubt. Thanks for reminding me of this. I
had forgotten what it was like. 

>> The one romantic ideal I can't deal with is the passivity trip.  
>> ie. True Love should just happen.  Yes, sometimes it does, but 
>> the chances are better if you make an effort.

As you get older (I'm 43) you find this out real quick.

>> I'm glad it worked for you.

I don't see it as a bad deal because I've seen so many successes (not everyone
of course) with it. Like anything else, it works if you put in the effort.
It's just that the time required is a little more streamlined with the
service. That's what you pay for. It's not for everyone.
