Kcic> Has anybody noticed how rare WOMEN are on this list? snip No please wonder all you want, about anything you want. I'm just saying your hypothesis is limiting your vision and was lacking supportive evidence. I'm sorry I was very offended by your email. I like to believe that anyone can be or do anything they want --- watching way too much Star Trek ;-) I have plenty of friends, male and female, that are techies and love it. This has been my experience. I'm sorry that it hasn't been yours. I've read a lot of books on women in mathematics, engineering, computer science, etc. I know about the statistics of who enters these programs at University. I just don't need it to be thrown in my face on a technical list.
I guess it is time for me to leave this list.
No accusations were made ano no slanderous statements issued. An observation was made and voiced as such. If you opt to leave the list, it will be because you are thin-skinned and your feelings were unintentionally injured.
