Conclusions:
1) "Real" missed connections have very little chance of success.
2) CLMC is a way of meeting people you aren't looking for. Very random, but perhaps no more random than alot of other ways.
3) People behave badly on the internet. This can be dissappointing. It can also be alot of fun.
Topics for further study:
1) Would a "real" mc work better if you told someone you were going to post for them? I've been meaning to try this.
2) Isn't it about time I quit all this malarky and settled down?
