This is all bullshit.

The reason net.personals is such a good idea is that nobody has to go through
anybody else (like a moderator) to get "set up" with some dream-body.

The reason it is such a bad idea is that nobody will post to it, because
nobody wants to be made a fool of on the net, and because it is ridiculous to
have somebody moderate something like this.
