    Yeah, Compuserve. Back when the Internet was practically a puppy.

    This is a lot more fun in theory than practice, I think.

    I thought the thread would be retitled:

    'The ... world is a cesspool'

    Geez, it seems like a million years ago that I started this thread.

    Rick, just keep one eye on it: One in every 25 or so is legit and worthwhile.

    It doesn't help that I live in a rural town. If I set up the search to eliminate all possible variant spellings of "country girl," there'd be two women left within 50 miles.

    I'm not entirely sure what's happening here, but if Rick Stain is searching for dates online, I really think someone should mention it to a big-timer in Hollywood so it can immediately be turned into a reality show.

    The solution seems readily apparent to me.

    A little "country" never hurt anyone.

    I've heard several people say lately that my life should be a movie.

    Maybe not your life. But definitely your internet dating life. I'd watch.

    I'll keep you updated.

    I don't have any funny stories yet. There was one woman I wasn't at all interested in, but she had some things in common that I thought might be fun to talk about, and we realized after a few messages that she was one of my son's teachers.

    I'm considering just making "Would." my go-to opening message.
