If mod.personal is intended to like the "personals" section of the want ads (if not, it's named wrong, because that's what I think it's for) then Usenet is the wrong medium for such things. Usenet is a broadcast medium. Personal ads are intended to be read by one person. Electronic mail makes much more sense. If you don't know the person's email address, find it out using net.net-people. Mark Horton
