Kcic> I haven't caused enough trouble, today, so:
Kcic> Has anybody noticed how rare WOMEN are on this list?
I enjoy the content of this list tremendously and find it very educational. I try to contribute when I can. But, I'm sorry, this is a stupid question and imho is inappropriate for a technical list.
We are in the 21 century and for someone to even think this way is really depressing.
RM> Because it's the 21'st century nobody's supposed to wonder why women RM> aren't interested in a heavily technical operating system? Now we know. 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. Bye. One techie gal who was offended. -- __________________________ DJ mailto: linux_programmer@hotmail.com
