Most companies that I applied to, I applied for jobs not dates.  Does this
mean that Al Rask has a computer-dating service company?  I hope it's that
rather than another interpretation based on inserting enough words to make
the statement mean that he knows 4 people who work at his company who write
in net.singles and who can't get dates (this is obviously reading many extra
words, but then, hey! this is net.relig--oops! net.flame, right); because
this could be an awfully crummy thing, reading about coworkers (or underlings)
and the odd things they reveal in net.*, especially in net.singles where
there has been a certain move to come out of the closet and declare that
one is  het-er-o-sexual.  (I mean, would you want *your* boss to know?)
(oh? why?)

Personally, I am much more attractive in person than on the net, unless, of
course, you've got a green screen.
