Subject: a link to your page

hello. i am working on a homepage. Its almost done. there is a smallish 
section that contains the "Prettyest Web-Girls". the difference between my 
list of web-females and other lists, is that mine are *real* people that 
are mostly normal and dont go out of their way to show off their beauty. 
you qualify. is it ok to add your page as a link?

I love your web page.  Er, web pages.  I'm so jealous.  They're really
slick, and I love the vet/animal links.. I've spend hours ignoring support
calls and browsing through your webspace... :-)  Anyway, now I've got this
great secret desire to become a Close Personal Friend of Hillary.  No, no,
not that Close and Personal, just that warm, fuzzy email friendship that
the citizens of Paskataway, New Jersey seem to have mastered. 

Sorry, I've been teching for about 4 hours straight and my brain is
starting to get a tad fuzzy.  If nothing else, I wanted to say that I
think your pages are really slick.  I'm at
http://www.mindspring.com/~[deleted], if you're curious.  Can I add a link
from my page to yours?  I'm trying to learn advanced html stuff, like
scripts, frames, and the like, but it's not that cool.  Yet.  *grin*

Anyway, take it easy.

Glad and yet sorry to here Paul is out of the picture. Thoroughly enjoyed 
your web pages and the pictures of you ROCK. You have a really terrific 
smile and wouldn't mind if you sent me a few Jpg. Actually besides the 
fact that you have a terric smile, myself and a few friends were surfing 
( pappa ooh mow mow ) around the City Paper's web site 
and quite enjoyed your foreshortened cow.  
Also please mail me if you have any more foreshortened cows.

Hi Hillary!
You and your friends look like you're having a great time!
Can you give me some advice on creating my own home page?
How many hits do you get a week, how expensive is it, what type of connection
do you have?

Any info you would like to pass along will be appreciated.
Thank you and Take Care!

To: hillary@hillary.net
Subject: I was visitor 3655, and now I'm 3658, and I haven't even left yet!

 Just finished reading those other emails you've put on display. So, I was
right! You
do have weird people stopping by to bug you!

 But it seems I've forgotten something in my last message. I have to pledge
to you my
undying love!! I forgot to tell you about how I'm a lonely, dirty old man
(of 39) in
Houston, TX who has been drooling over your pictures, and wanting to wish
upon you an exceptional day! And I need to mention that although I know it's
impossible, I really
want to drive 30 hours north to blizzard land to meet you for a beer and a
pizza. You
see, my life is totally FUCKED and therefore, I have deeply seated personal
and emotional problems, and I figure that if I'm VERY, VERY, VERY
WITTY-SENTIMENTAL-ANIMAL LOVING-LITERATE-SWEET-(LUCKY AS HELL) - AND - if I
woke up this morning in yet another
alternate reality - you might just be fucking stupid enough to tell me where
you live
and also arrange to meet me and actually be there without having a squad of
vice cops surrounding the area! Sheesh!!

 I've been working on my own Web page, and now I'm starting to wonder if
what I'm working on is as good an idea as I first thought it was.  I wanted
to make, what I've
called a (copyright 1995 Dave Tuchman) Cyberautobiography. So far, the
closest thing I've seen to this is a woman whose head has obviously become
unscrewed who puts her
diary on the net with an entry every day.

 Reading your old email has given me a feel for what I'd be letting myself
in for once
people started reading & responding to my page. I'd be getting seriously
deranged emails from who (or what) the hell knows! Maybe I can link them to
you if you really are going to make a page of weird emails. Mine would give
it balance. Nobody's going to fall madly in love with me, I can tell you
that! (Don't worry, I won't use you as a link without permission! (No
censorship on the Net, but death to assholes who abuse etiquette!)

 By now you might be suspecting that I am one of those get-a-life types who
have nothing better to do than to write to strangers. Actually, I'm a couch
potato (no "e", Mr. Quayle) who likes to do something-anything to get some
use out of this $2,000 game machine while I watch TV or listen to the radio
(Howard Stern, Rush, Dr. Laura ((she's her daughter's mother)) or G. Gordon
Liddy).

 I also need to have something keeping my neurons firing during:
commercials; crappy stuff I'm watching the last 10 minutes of until the show
I want to watch comes on; or
while I'm finally watching the show I was waiting for and it turns out to be
not quite as interesting as I thought it would be.

 This is why the Internet is so great! Now, from the comfort of my own home,
I can drive complete strangers crazy as I ramble on and on and on about
nothing at all. How
Monty Pythonish! I was going to dribble on and on some more, but there
actually IS something on I want to watch, and good TV beats rambling anyday!

 And by the way, I am anti-anonymity, so anyone who wants to babble to me
can do it at:

It looks like Paul isn't working with y'all anymore, but, did he break
your heart, too? The NOT circle over his face in the photo seems like
you're really pissed at him. How do you think he must feel whenever he
drops by your page when his starts to miss y'all. I know from your links
that you wouldn't be deliberately cruel to a dumb animal, so why don't
you give poor Paul a break? Just doctor the image and crop him out,
instead of tormenting him like this. And I don't even know the guy. Maybe
he deserves it? At least you were nice enough to pass on his new link.
By the way, hope you like strangers dropping by uninvited, butting their 
noses into your business. 
This WWW shit is great!

You left Berkeley for Philadelphia ?!  The biggest mistake I ever made 
was 
leaving the SF Bay area. Make that the second 
biggest mistake. First 
biggest mistake was the lady I chose to 
marry. But those kind of mistakes 
can be fixed by an expensive lawyer. But 
leaving SF? You can't go home 
again...

..but each of your web pages has this picture of you and Paul (whoever he

Why not just take Photoshop (or even pbmplus or netpbm) and crop the 
image so
that just your face appears?

Yes, and it's comfortable here in the ether, isn't it? Existing like this
gives new meaning to the ancient Greek Seneca's comment that "Every day is a

 Except that a Seneca alive today might have subsituted "log-on" for "day" .

A useful, eclectic bunch of groups under your musical tastes. But how about
Spiro Gyra and Jade and Steely Dan? Came to these groups late, after years of
hard boppers like Trane and Phil Woods and Miles. But the fusion groups do it
even better. And for dreamy times, late, in the dark, surf sounds outside the
window, only Harlem Nocturne, by any one of the groups who have recorded it
(one tune NOBODY can screw up)....

I have finally gotten around to creating a web page for my business and I'm 
trying to steal/copy ideas from anyone that has decent looking page.  And then 
I found your page.

The problem with cyberspace, is that one rarely gets to put a face on the 
account name, but I just got to see yours.  You are a very good looking women, 
and as my grandmother used to say, "smart too."  

Now don't think that I wouldn't take you apart verbally should we spar yet 
again over some constitutional issue.  I take those issues very seriously.  At 
least, I can see your smiling face as I write my retorts.  

You look awful young, so I suppose I can attribute some of the more 
liberal ideals to age, don't worry, you'll grow out of it eventually.

Nice web pages, I stole a few things.  Check mine out when I finish it.

Greetings,

        Just stumbled across your page.  Coolness.  :-)  I like it.  It's
simple and quiet.  It has some neat pix and some cool stuff.  I just wanted
to say hello.  And don't worry about neatness...  whoever came up with that
damned saying "cleanliness is next go Godliness" should be taken out and 
pummeled with the ClueBat (tm) until he screams Uncle (or somesuch nonsense).
As for staying awake, when I used to work midnight-8 and take classes 10-4
and find time in there for a little bit of a life (or was that a "lie"? 
:-)...
Hrmmm..  what did I do?  I played with computers.  Oh yeah, that is what has
eventually gotten me THIS job...  where it's after 4am and I am happy to be
awake and writing this strange little letter.  Guess that means I didn't 
learn much in college, what with graveyards and all.  But, I am glad to 
say I am making damned good money.  ARGH!!!  Now I'm babbling.  Well, anyway,

Actually I came from Poland, some 22 years ago, so Germany is my second

Subject: Hello!

Hillary,

  After sifting through the various snippets available via your Web 
page, I've come to the uncomfortable conclusion that I may be in love 
with you! Rather frustrating, because (A) I'm a few thousand leagues too 
far north to conveniently drop by to meet you sometime, and (B) There's 
no way a woman like you would be available/interested in some schmo from 
Connecticut who just happened to read your Internet junque!

  But, hey, *you* asked for mail!  8-)

  If you care, I'm a 6'2", 37-year-old single white male with brown 
hair, brown eyes and a beard (often told I resemble a less-squinty 
Stephen King...maybe I should move to Maine and try to make $$ signing 
phony autographs around the feed store!). Since I got divorced a year 
ago or so, I've been living alone...well, these two cats *let* me live 
here, as long as I feed 'em and change their kitty litter every few 
days. I'm also a Visual Basic programmer, writer and editor, a former 
professional (part-time) masseur, former NASCAR stock car driver, and I 
have too many interests to type all into one message. 

  Assuming you get about 10,000 messages like this a day, I don't 
suppose you'll reply, but if you ever happen to want an INTENSE massage 
and enjoy hot coffee or cold white wine, give me a yell. Actually, I've 
been to the Philly area many times and I could use a good excuse for an 
excursion down there!

  Have an exceptional day!
