I agree with Robin. I haven't noticed much in the posts
to this list that would lead me to make gender distinctions
one way or the other. Certianly the only sexual innuendo
I've read was from (apparently) male members of the
list, as well as I can recall.

As usual, David is acting with the patience of a saint.
I don't agree with him, but he is certianly the most
polite member of the list. Given the imponderable
nature of most of our discussions, that seems like
a trait of paramount importance.

I'm still struggling with server problems. I'm trying
to catch up in reverse direction...
