True confessions

Well, I'm scaring myself silly but I did something really crazy last night. I answered two personal ads from Craig's List. I got replies from both. They both seem very nice but I find the whole concept of meeting people through personals so oddly foreign that I'm feeling a little panic stricken about following through.

What say you friends? Am I crazy to do this? Is it too dangerous? I hear success stories about these things but reading about the guy in Michigan who was charged with drugging and raping a person he met on My Space or Your Face or whatever one of those social networks is not allaying my nerves.
