As an Englishman living >in Missouri, I have even adopted it myself. Okay, my apologies, I didn't mean to start an argument. It's just that it doesn't seem to matter what group of (dare I say) geeks I am in... I get looked at like a piece of fluff (read: arm candy). There are still a lot of assumptions about women and computers and it sorta... hrm... pokes an exposed button when people address a things with Dear Sirs. Unless and until we adopt Star Trek as our naming model... I would just appreciate something a lil less gender specific... but that's just me :) With that said... I think it's time this one went off list before I/we get flamed for not talking about FreeBSD-stable Back to work Sassinak aka Angela :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
