I looked in our /usr/spool/news/net/flame and /usr/spool/news/net/singles directories and didnt find the phrase "social MOTOS". However, in net.flame there was an article by a "Laura" (ihuxb!irish) who *isnt* me. She tends to sign her articles on the right hand side of the page as "Laura" while I sign my at the left hand side of the page as: Laura Creighton utzoo!utcsstat!laura though sometimes I dont capitalise it. From a net.singles article I gather that "Irish" is the other Laura's nickname; I have no idea what her last name is. Laura at ihuxb metioned "special MOTOS", not "social MOTOS" but until I get more lines of text to confirm that I metioned "social MOTOS" I will assume that it is her article that you are talking about. a MOTOS is a Member Of The Opposite Sex. A related term is MOTAS, a Member Of The Appropriate Sex. Seeing as they both are anacronyms which date back to the early days of net.singles & net.social there is no reason to antagonise any Homosexuals out there! If this isnt your question, then I suggest we answer it by mail. laura creighton utzoo!utcsstat!laura ps. I used to sign my articles 5 tabs stops to the right. I counted them one day when Dave Curry (pur-ee!davy) did a survey on how silly people sign their silly news articles. I got tired typing in the tabs.
