Huh. That's funny. The last person from LinuxChix that I remember being around was quite rude, belligerent, intolerant and completely and totally insensitive to people when a disagreement was brought to light. She was quite possibly one of the loudest and flamiest people that have been /on/ this list since it started. I think, perhaps, the overall "tone" of any group, then, must be in the "ear" of the beholder, because *I* was personally soured on LinuxChix thanks to that one person, just as you've been soured on Debian-Women thanks to this one thread. -- ---------------------------------------------------------- Patty Langasek [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------- At times, you may end up far away from you; you may not be sure of where you belong, anymore.
