HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! hahahaha!!! tee hee hee hee! hohohoho!! hehehehehe!! <gasp for air> HAHAHAHAHA!! heheheheehehehe. okok, I think I can type again. That is so hilarious that you mention that line: 'what, you're a computer geek, you must be a lesbian!' because I get that ALL THE TIME. And it sounds like such a strange thing to say, I thought it was just me, and maybe everyone was picking up on some lesbian tendencies I didn't know about. Good to know that linuxchix other than me are being diagnosed with Unconcious Lesbianism (UL). While I do admit I've met more out-of-the-closet lesbians in computers than I have in many other occupations (other than women's rugby), I'm not sure if this generalization is made because there is a perception of the few women in computers being statistically inclined to be lesbians, or if the guys who say this are just sexually frustrated : Man: "come code perl open source projects in my bedroom" Woman: "I don't date co-workers" Man: "well then obviously you must be a lesbian!" -- (true story, simplified for dramatic effect) > Now I'm gonna leave that thread be (: So I can pick it back up! :) (in america our smileys read left to right) Thanks for posting this, it's quite funny. :) -- Viki (who organized monthly linux-il dinners in 1997, but now is sadly too far away to eat dinner with everybody anymore) ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
