I'd like to note, more verbosely, that I got carried away with that post -- I was trying to demonstrate how all beauty disappears with a var width font. I do not want to be associated with sexism nor trying to irritate anyone. When I posted I simply wasn't aware enough that a picture like this could offend, in either direction (to me, personally, it is quite low on the irritation scale). I value the attitude neutrality on this list and apologize for disturbance thereof.

The drastically uneven male:female ratio in the Subversion project has actually worried me recently. My understanding of the nature of FLOSS would suggest a more or less even distribution, so I ask myself, why the heck are *all* of us svn devs male? I hereby officially welcome any individual out there to join in and receive attitude/gender/situation-neutral support like anyone else. ~Neels
