Perhaps that should be s/If women are so weak they can't/If women have better things to do than/ But I don't really know, just having noticed this subthread right abotu now, and not sufficiently motivated to go back and find the origin. Did a lot of women who used to post here recently stop doing so? I really have no business in this discussion, since I just a couple of days ago thought, "Hrm, I should resubscribe to debian-user and see what's up." Back in the day, I can't remember anyone doing anything particularly offensive to women on this list. Certainly nothing on par with the slashdot and thedailywtf noise. > - -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA > > "Working with women is a pain in the a**." My wife I read the quote, got moderately offended, read the attribution, considered, decided she may have a point. For values of "women" not including myself, of course. I do wonder what the intent of including that in your sig is, especially in a primarily-male environment. The "feel" would be different in a more evenly distributed crowd. -- monique Help us help you: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
