    phew...todays a busy one...not much noting time.
    
    You're right, a lot of ::FRIENDS have moved on over time, though many
    are still in touch with one another.
    
    I'll be the first to oblige with a response (especially as my intro in 
    topic 3 is WAY outta date and much has happened since!)

You seem to have quite well developed writing skills even for someone with
a mental age of 3...!

    OK friends?
    
    I have now deleted all my notes on this topic (except this of course)
    I thought the whole idea of FRIENDS was that it was a open to all 
    for all to be open, without fear of having the ride taken out of them 
    for incorrect spelling or grammer, well at least that is what it used
    to be like. If it is now changing to another SOAPBOX. I shall become
    just a read_only_noter hense forth.
    
    Its 8:50 on a monday morning what attitude do you expect?
    Tracey
    
407.36MARVIN::TANGMon Apr 22 1996 13:2014
Hi Tracey,

Sorry to hear you feel this way.  I'll gladly delete or set hidden any
of my notes which may have caused offense - it's no problem.

I guess some of us can have a rather ironic and sharp sense of humour
sometimes which can cause offense, but it's not meant to be like that
at all.

Speaking personally, I'd much rather someone speak up so we/I can do
something to accomodate.

    Tracey , I think you took the notes in the wrong vain. I don't think
    anyone was taking shots at ya but trying to have fun with you.
    
    Sorry if you interpret that as offensive. But I can tell you that it
    wasn't the intention

407.62Forms, forms we fill out...SNOFS1::CRUZPAULPaul CruzWed May 29 1996 08:3519
    Hi Dave
    
    I can assure you, luck has got nothing to do with it...
    
    Seduction is a form of human activity that necessitates a certain form
    of attraction, whether real or perceived, with the promise of a reward
    or pleasure.  It can be done by all forms of human being transcending
    any boundaries, circumstances or geophysical location.
    
    Imagine slipping someone a card that says "My name is Dave, I'm ** yrs
    old, I work with Digital as a ***, I live in *** City.  I am
    single/married with 1 kid.  Now, can we have a real conversation?"
    
    Remember the old adage, "if it's worth doing, it's worth doing good."
