Addendum -was- Re: Moderator Note - Regarding accessible dating / hook-up apps
Hi again All, Replying to myself here to just add a quick addendum. Please, let’s keep this thread on topic for dating apps and such. As I said yesterday, no solicitations. Additionally, this is not an excuse to flame anyone or for name-calling. You all already know that that sort of thing is not tolerated here. This is also not an excuse to (once again) publicly question why this list is run the way it is or why we’re still on this provider. Mark and I have been super clear and absolutely transparent on this. So if you have any questions, please please please direct them to us off the list. We’re happy to answer them there and just not on the group. :) So now, if we can, let’s continue on the excellent and informative discussion. Thanks to you all and have a lovely day / evening! Cheers!

Re: Moderator Note - Regarding accessible dating / hook-up apps
Hi Carrie this is Mike. I am glad you posted on here I am basically in the same position is the guy who asked the question. I am also wondering what dating apps might be accessible. I think it is quite appropriate that the question was asked. I am sort of wondering the same thing.
