Sorry if I didn't make myself clear:  I'm not trying to be a police force.

Just imagine a one person police force:
"Who was that masked man?"
"That was the Lone Programmer --- never sleeping in his quest of preserving
 net.women.only!"
"HiHo SeaShell--Abend!"

I think the rule in question stinks --- but I will abide by it until it
is changed.  I don't really know how to go about changing a rule on
the net since the net (and its "rules") are so informal.  If somebody
out there has an idea of how to remove this group (without violating one
of the few rules we have here), please let me know.

I agree. But again: don't bust what few laws we have for the sake of
one absurdity.
