ORIGINAL: DelilahDeb OP: Your boilerplate [example letter] seems clear enough to me. However, I think you might want to re-order it to reflect your priorities, edit it for brevity (some folks just are not natural readers), and make certain to include a few "strokes" at beginning and end. Also, I do agree with a number of responses who suggest that you'll have much better success if your Lord does the first and second round of filtering (or, rather, let the ijuts self-select themselves elsewhere). SimplyMichael, I do agree with you--there's nothing wrong at all with the letter as it stands. My comments only reflect my 15-year career as a technical writer...one can ALWAYS improve a document's message. Back to the OP: I think you've greatly improved your chances just by being on CM, and, as a lifelong poly person who gets the concept of a primary relationship coming first, I'd suggest you look around your region for any online poly communication means (Yahoo groups, or such things). Just a thought. Delilah Deb We do appreciate an editor's viewpoint. I have been concerned with My Love's long windedness myself and have tried to convey to her the importance of succinctness. I am most assuredly not the dictionary My Love is, but I am capable of getting my point accross, usually. I think your comments may also help me in this crusade for not turning an obituary into a biographical novel. As for the me being involved in the "hunt", I absolutely am. The PC is set in the BR and almost all of My Love's time in front of it, has me at her side. I do generally ask My Love to do the typing as she has countless more years in a professional capacity in front of one, so naturally, she types considerably faster. As for the yahoo groups etc., if I am not mistaken, the yahoo adult groups are being or are deleted. But this is not the medium we use. We are members of several forum and chat sites, as well as regulars in a few of the local pubs. However, the pub scene is less frequent nowadays (timeconstraints and all).
