Someone has suggested that there be a moderated mail.personals mailing list.
If someone will explain to me how to go about setting up the mailing list,
I'll volunteer to moderate it.                        

Someone has suggested that postings should be geographically arranged.
That shouldn't be too hard.

Suggestions are welcome.

PS:  I'd hate to see net.singles get encumbered with ads.  I'd prefer it if
     people felt free to ask for what they want and get it.  I'd feel better
     if people who weren't interested weren't required to pass judgement.
     I'll try to classify rather than censor.  I *will* want to bounce 
     defamatory or hostile mailings, so don't tempt me.

Well, I'll try to run a national mailing list for personals.  I would
suspect that out of this will come some email type pen pals, as 
opposed to any serious LDRs, but who really knows?

There will be four lists:

Men looking for men

Men looking for women

Women looking for men

Women looking for women.

To join a list, send mail to ihnp4!abnji!joinpers

To send a request, specify to which list(s) you want the request
sent and the text to ihnp4!abnji!personal

To insure anonymity, a mailbox will be created on this machine 
to get replies.  The mailbox will remain for 14 days.  If you'd
rather receive replies directly, say so in the text of the message.

Messages will be sent out daily.  If you want to join, let me know!
