It's true, I'm neither outspoken nor a prolific writer in this
newsgroup, but I am a woman who is definitely pro-life.  By the
way, I am not at home (although I would like to work at home if the
phone hookup charges were not so expensive), I am not currently
barefoot, (although I do sometimes take off my shoes), and I am not
currently pregnant.  As for your final point, I am working on a
Ph.D. in Computer Science, which may not necessarily indicate the
computer know-how that many of you have, but I think it at least
indicates that I am allowed to use a computer, at least occasionally.

I am not asking for an apology, I'm just trying to provide some
relevant information.
