As we all know all too well, MOTOS has been defined as "Member of the Opposite Sex." This definition has always bothered me. Last time I checked, "Opposite" didn't really apply. I think a better definition might be ". . . Other Sex." Continuing with this line of thought (perverted though it may be), how about -- MOAS -- Member of Another Sex MOADS -- Member of a Different Sex MOTSS -- Member of the Same Sex (for about 10% of the population) MOAUS -- Member of an Undetermined Sex MOAIS -- Member of an Interesting Sex MOTIS -- Member of THE Interesting Sex (for those with strong opinions one way or the other) MOS -- Member of SEX (Serbian Existentialist Xylophonists) Enough of that; are there any plans for a Valentine's Day net.singles party? That holiday is the one that probably hurts the most for "pure" singles (i.e. those with no MOTOS at all). Discussion on that topic is welcome. Dave (MOTOS-less) Johnson BTL Piscataway
