    I don't know if you've seen it, but out of boredom I put up a page on my site that solicits people to mail me crazy stuff (mostly as I was wondering how long before that email address got captured by spambots) Letters from Mad People[^] The first three were from people I already knew, who just felt like mailing me stupid stuff. The fourth was my attempt to get a response from a peculiar spam (tho I note that no spam has yet been sent to the crazy people address), but the fifth is my only success so far - a genuine stranger who somehow stumbled onto my site, and felt that she had to respond. Actually, we chat quite regularly on MSN now, which is pretty cool, though it's mostly teen angst (oh the joys of A levels) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

    Site feedback can certainly be interesting. I get them from both my MSN Public Profile[^] and from my website. Those that come through my Profile seem to be mostly 20-something Egyptian guys looking for a girlfriend but occasionally I do hear from other TS/TG folk and/or Christians. Most of the feedback I get through my website is from others in a similar position or those supporting them (I haven't had any bashers write to me :)). It certainly seems to be serving it's purpose - I was even contacted by someone from my old school who's in the same position! Small world. Every person I can help -even if just a little bit - makes it all worthwhile. :) Anna :rose: www.annasplace.me.uk

      Bit rude so avoid if you are a prude. Got this through spam today: "90% OF MEN HAVE A SMALLER THAN AVERAGE PENIS - ARE YOU ONE OF THEM ?" Paul: Oh no! 90%?!?! God, I thought I might be average, but 90%? That is a lot! Where's their number.... Oh wait a minute... how can 90% be below average? Surely the average would reflect the 90%? So if 90% had 7inches then fine, 90% can't be below average, right? I don't mind clever spam, but stupid spam is just sad and a waste of time for everyone.

        This all reminds me of something that I came across whilst studying statistics (I think it was talking about how useless statistics really are, as you can make them "prove" anything) Anyway, The average human being has one breast, one testicle, and half a penis. (and half of all the female gentialia as well, of course, but that's far too much to list here) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

            Unless there are a few men out there with penises (peni?) measured in feet rather than inches, which is keeping the "average" unusually high -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

                              It's possible if, e.g. you and 8 other pauls, have a measely below-average useless unsatisfying laughable 7", and I have a proud strong womanizing 7.1". Avg = (9*7 + 7.1) / 10 = 7.01" > 7". So what the stats say is that a bigger-than-avg occurs more often than a smaller-than-average.

It does beg the question who actually *has* had their todger that close to a ruler, and *ahem* in what particular state it was at the time... I guess there are some valid statistics out there for such things, rather than those that are invented by these spam merchants? So who carries the clipboard for the statistics?? What a job! How would that get described on a CV?? Debbie

                                          Bit rude so avoid if you are a prude. Got this through spam today: "90% OF MEN HAVE A SMALLER THAN AVERAGE PENIS - ARE YOU ONE OF THEM ?" Paul: Oh no! 90%?!?! God, I thought I might be average, but 90%? That is a lot! Where's their number.... Oh wait a minute... how can 90% be below average? Surely the average would reflect the 90%? So if 90% had 7inches then fine, 90% can't be below average, right? I don't mind clever spam, but stupid spam is just sad and a waste of time for everyone.

                                          What I want to know is how is it even possible for anyone to have figures like an average penis size. It's not like they are measuring and recording the size every time you visit a doctor: Nurse: "Let me just take a few measurements: Your weight? Height? Penis size?"... :eek: And it's not like you can trust any kind of survey on the subject they can conduct... I mean, how many people can you expect to be completely honest about this... :~ :)
