Do We Think This Will Work?

I guess Catherine thought that posting "holler if you are interested in running 3-4 miles with a kinda outtashape but still reasonably fast running partner in DC" was likely to attract a lot of stalkers, so instead she went with:

i should also note that i'm again looking for a running partner on monday AM (7 am-ish, yes this is optimistic, but still) and saturdays at any point, so holler if you are interested in running 3-4 miles with a kinda outtashape but still reasonably fast running partner in DC. and if you're not a psycho stalker.

My feeling is that what differentiates the "psycho" stalkers from the polite, friendly ones is that they're precisely the ones least likely to be dissuaded by a "no psycho stalkers" disclaimer.
