Thx love you honypom" Sure. There's really no need to ask, as if ``sql servers'' were something that women are or should be afraid of. > ok i will narrow the specification a bit, which of you ever > encountered a woman that knows the difference between giving her your > phone number or giving her a ip address ? Yes. I also dislike questions like these immensely. You may have not meant it to sound like this, but questions like the ones above _are_ sexist; they contain, consciously or not, the hypothesis that somehow -- for whatever reason -- IP addresses, SQL servers, mail servers, routers and any other IT related topic is easier to grasp when you're a man. That's simply not true. If you have to ask why, you're missing the point. - Giorgos
