Now Ken, look.  There seem to be a hell of a lot of people with the 
opinion that net.women.only IS broken.  Not necessarily the content of
the group, but the idea behind the group in the first place.  You can
bet your sweet ass that there would have been more people (like you,
probably) screaming bloody murder if ther was a group named
net.wasp.only.  Hey, wasps have problems that they need to discuss that
nobody else would be sympathetic toward :-).  This "limp society" has
enough separatism and segregation as it is.  Do we really need the net
advocating it?
