    All that is necessary for people to think that I posted something is
for the attribution line to be there. And the correct attribution line
was in the article when I followed up on it. When it says "Lady Godiva
writes..." and then is followed by an article, I'd assume that people
would think that I wrote it.

    How much more explicite do you want to get? As far as once being
enough, I only posted one article about it. The only reason that I sent
a reply to you is that I wasn't sure how frequently you read this
newsgroup, and I just wanted to be sure that this was called to your
attention. I never claimed that a personal attack was made on me, and if
I had agreed, even slightly, with the article, I wouldn't have been
upset at all, although I would have still posted a disclaimer. But,
really, do you expect me to allow the possibility that people on the net
would think that I thought that women should stay home and take care of
the kids, etc.? 

      calm and mellow -
