snip...

My only wonderment is why someone would post such a simple service.  Especially
the the net.  It would seem that most of the single, personel's and such
groups have an open forum for listing info on themselves.  Or have 
discussions on news groups and meet people.  I just don't undersatand this
type of service on a place like the internet.  

	Ok, In real life where people meet face to face a service like
this seems like it would be plausable because of the small group of people you 
can reach by yourself.  But on the net if you wnat to meet someone
and you have a little patience then you can usually find someone who is
interesting.  

	Of course business like this one tend to be more obnoxious
siince they really don't care about meeting or information or a good thing,
they care about money and only how much they can rip off the people...

Well, I guess I can stand down, but this business's on the internet
is going to be tough to get used to...
