We obviously have some new net.singles readers if the "What is a MOTOS"
question is surfacing again.  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.
