Look, wombat breath :-), If you want to start or > or enter a discussion which pertains to women, use net.women. > But as for net.women.only, IT AIN'T BROKE, SO DON'T FIX IT!! 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? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Andy Banta {decvax!allegra!ihnp4}!pur-ee!pucc-k!agz Dept. of Mental Instability, Purdue University --- "I'm OK, You're a CS Major" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
