I know it's all fun and worthwhile, but you do realize we're perpetuating a thread started by someone who's no longer on the site...right?
Since when have we let little details like that hold us back?

Just one more idea, I'm beginning to think that the people sending out the e-mails are sending them in bulk, and you are right...not reading the profiles. Just throwing out the net, and seeing what they can reel in. It isn't right, but it's my idea of what these people seem to be doing.
Absolutely there are... that's what I meant by trolls "fishing". Awhile back I had a couple friends join here, both female submissives. They got quite a few emails... and of those that were trolling, quite a few of those were identical emails. That is, both girls got an identical letter from the same "dom" and there were numerous examples of this (we had a bit of a laugh over it... pity I couldn't post a list of names but that's against the TOS). That's fishing, its not someone taking any sort of personal interest in you but just some twit sending out form letters hoping to get a few responses. They're operating on the same principle as telemarketers. Telemarketers call literally millions of people in a given area, they know most of those people will hang up on them and not respond, but they also know a small percentage will buy whatever they are selling, and that small percentage is what keeps it profitable. The trolls are doing the same thing knowing that there is always that small percentage of the naive or whomever who will fall for their spam.

Aren't guys supposed to be looking for women to have sex with?
What's so wrong with being a horny net guy? Isn't horny a good thing?
And come on now ... trolls are people too.
Hehe... not sure if trolls count as people or not... jury is still out on that one. 
Here's the thing that bugs people about them... trolls don't really give a damn about the people they are writing too, they're just writing to virtually everyone in hopes somebody will respond. That's annoying, not to mention low class... as in absence of. Horny can be a good thing, but like anything there's a time and a place for it... first impressions usually aren't that time or place. Its one thing to have someone flirting with you personally... that can be flattering. But when you realize that email you got is a form letter they've sent to 500 other people... and that's just today... it goes from being flattering to insulting in 3.2 sec (or less). Funny thing about these trolls is that about half of them don't really know what to do if someone does respond, after a few emails from an experienced and skeptical submissive, the reality of how little they know about anything becomes all to clear (the other half are unfortunately a bit more sophisticated than that).
Now about having sex... ever thought of vacationing in NC?
