     Cor!  Who said anything about militant man-haters?

     I'd be flaming too, and *I'm* certainly not a man-hater; I just think
that it's appropriate to flame people who make sexist remarks - sort of 
doing my part to advance the cause of sexual equality.

     And Lisa - it's also kind of rude and irrational to put nasty words
like "militant man-haters" in my mouth.  Could you try to avoid it in the
future?  Thanx.
