I may just totally give up on linuxchix. There are too many unwritten rules fir me to trip over, and I tho' I don't expect sweetnesa a light. This and slashdot seems to have produced the snarliest mail I have seen in along time, except in the distant past. And nettique seems to have multiplied to be an unwritten royal protocol manual. Maybe I don't get it, and I am startinng not to care. Except this excpt for techtalk might not be the place foe me, or in some cases younger female geeks. Nothing shuts down ibterest faster than snarliness. It is distressing enough to lose track of all sorts of things. Maye it is a fluuek of stomp on Steve week.. Maybe I do blather too much. But I am strarting to care less and less. In the case of your message was i liv prostitutes or "booth bunnies". ...What event was thus? COMDEX? Sad to say it is like gym ads where cute women are scattered around/ But never ssay any directr prpostitutes excot someone asked me for a date, and I said the flippant: "Well if you'll pay for it..." They wenrt away. So much for rtue lovce and attraction. Being clueless didn;t help me here, a chee sheet wou;ld have,,,, I dunno I'll sleep on it alll and if I get tossed off or flamed I won't care that much...I thought off starting a GIMP list where people did just jump as people used to, and there was real traffic. BUt beisdes simple rules as layed out here. I don't think I could make things more elaborate.than be nice and cinsideratre. That's abour it.... zIs any ofthis worth the time? Or is it just a clique?
