I am writing a program for a 'computer dating service', and I would like to
solicit some input from the net.singles community.  The basic idea is that I
will have people fill out a very detailed description of themselves, and I will
provide 'query' forms with the same criteria with which people can search.
For each category, nitpicking or not, I will also have a scale to rate its
importance to you.  I hope that this will enable people to be very specific
and picky in areas that matter to them, fetishes and preferences, without
having to count all sorts of the other details.  The premise is that people are
very picky by nature, and that this will allow them to exercise that selection.

This could get very long.  Please respond by mail for a more detailed
description and for an idea of how you might be able to help.  Alternatively,
you might just suggest some of those "little things" that you notice about
people, so that I can represent as many as possible.  For example, perhaps you
care how much someone tends to talk, or whether they wear zippered boots and
black socks with their bermuda shorts, or something.

Thanks, thanks, thanks in advance, as they say...
