[net.motss] Kids but no marriage, negative comments

peterson@vaxwrk.DEC (bob peterson) (04/02/85)

Pardon, kind reader, but I couldn't let this go unsaid...

M. Beslove... Um, perhaps you didn't see this note fly by just before you sent
your well-that-was-good-clean-fun concluding note.  Care to revise your
statement about "no negative comments"?

Your tax dollars at work, folks.  SUNY, eh?  I'm not sure I want him teaching 
the kids I may decide to raise via surrogate mother or adoption.

Too much said already.

***********************************************************
We here at OSU are in a Usenet backwater.  I didn't read the kind Col's 
message until days after I posted my summary (not concluding) remarks.  

Who are you worried about teaching your kids now?  The Col or me?
