If David DiGiacomo doesn't want net.women.only on his own
machine, he doesn't have to accept it from his news feed
(assuming it is under his control).  Likewise for those who
agree with him that net.women.only is "a waste of net
resources".

Still, we do have to thank him for his suggestion -- there's
been more traffic in net.women.only in the last few weeks
than there has been in months.  

Long Live Net.women.only!

Right.  And if David is administrator for a backbone machine, it is ok
with you that everyone getting their newsfeed from him can do without
it also, right?  

	How about if the name gets changed to net.rabid.feminists?
(As opposed to net.feminists, a name which implies that men 
might be acceptable also?) 

	I'm sure David D. wouldn't care about the group name, then.
What's that?  The name is offensive?  But it's only so that women
can have their own space without MEN interfering!

Do you mean to say, Rick, that men by definition cannot be rabid feminists?
I've approached rabidness on this issue occasionally, and have observed it
in other members of my sex.
