thank you, Lance :) , I accept your apology, Jim-- I would reply at more
length but I wouldn't be saying much that I haven't said already, and
(Matthew, I agree) this isn't quite the place. Tina, I'm sorry that you feel
that you are under attack. (I hope none of you mind my using first names; it
seems clumsy to do otherwise.)
(Perhaps we could discuss how to appropriately render a scene featuring IT
personell... um, no, never mind.) I'll simply say that I understand that you
(Jim Kress) believe that "earlier, historical concerns about women in the
technical workforce have been addressed and are no longer significant." I
agree that progress has been made, by leaps and bounds, but I strongly doubt
that these concerns are no longer significant.
I also doubt that anyone meant to offend, etc. This issue is, perhaps, beyond,
or below or above or... at any rate, removed from both the original question
and this newsgroup. (Which (of course) is not to suggest that I let that
prevent me from posting.) Anyway, I said I was going to limit my reply here,
so I'll leave it at that.
