The number of anonymous postings as a percentage of mod.singles is dropping. One reason the percentage was so high to start was because there are a few people out on the net who have been silenced by less than supportive administrations and who are now using the anonymous feature of mod.singles to post their comments safely. My preference is that articles posted to mod.singles NOT be anonymous, but that isn't always possible. chuq -- Mod.singles postings should be mailed to 'nsc!singles' administrivia should be mailed to 'nsc!singles-request' nsc talks to {cbosgd,decwrl,fortune,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo}
