...They were my Datamatch results, the product of 28 questions carefully crafted by the guys I see passed out on Cabot Library couches in the middle of the day. Probably because they stayed up late playing World ofWarcraft. I glanced at the list of girls, and was surprised I knew almost none of them. The e-mail ended: “You’re under no obligation to contact the people on your list, but heck, why not?” Heck, indeed...
