Some interesting statistics:

Of the 53 articles in this newsgroup reaching my site this week,
		30 were written by men
		13 were written by women
		10 were written by people whose gender could not be
			determined
(Determination was generally made on the basis of signature, though internal
evidence--such as saying "we women"--or external knowledge--such as I know
the person--was also used.)

Of the 26 posters:
		19 were men
		 8 were women
		 9 were people whose gender could not be determined

Now someone will undoubtedly complain that "men are taking over net.women."
This is not what *I'm* saying.  I am sure that the proportion of female
posters in this group is higher than that in the Usenet as a whole.  I just
started to notice how most of the discussion here was being carried on by
men.  What was interesting was how much they disagreed with each other.
Anyone who thinks it's "men versus women" either hasn't been reading this
group.
