It is. However, like any group or party, there are certain conventions that
are really just common courtesy.  For example, do you usually walk up to
a group of strangers at a party and say "Hi!  I'm a SWM ISO DHF for wild,
frenzied sex"???  If you do, then you need some serious help, and ARC is
not the place to get that help.

If you want to meet the ARC.folk, just hang around for a while.  Follow the
threads.  Make a comment or two about a thread.  Start your own thread. Ask
a question about romance or love or relationships that has been bothering
you for as long as you knew what romance or love or relationships were.  Or
better yet, start a net.food-fight!  (Speaking of which, have you seen my
Super-Pie-O-Matic 2000?!?!?  No???  *SPLOOSH* Now you have!!)
