I have to agree with Lauren on this one.  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.
