The sad thing is, the leaders of the Linux community think that 2% is a high
number, and reality is closer to 1%.  That is the figure Bob Young used (99% male)
in his Linux Journal interview, and it is also the number Phil Hughes used in that
same publication.  Are we really all Ms. One Percent?  Hmmm...

Interestingly enough, the Editor-In-Chief of Linux Journal is Marjorie
Richardson.  Would she let this go in her magazine if the number really is a whole
bunch higher????
