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. Evelyn C. Leeper ...ihnp4!hocsj!ecl
