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 ishet-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. Lisa S.
