Carl said that he felt being single was a very desirable state; that he prefered it. Of course, the reason why a lot of people get married, or reasonable equivalent, is to raise children. Are there any net.singles subscribers out there, who set out to be single parents? Does anybody know anyone who set out to be a single parent? I am particularly looking for people who decided to raise one or more children alone, before they undertook the preliminaries, although I am sure that divorced, or reasonable equivalent single parents far outnumber them. In any case, I would be very interested in hearing from such people. How do you like it? Cordially, Geo Swan, Integrated Studies, University of Waterloo
