Is this you chuq ? {ranitng about my being a sexist pig deleted] Based of private email exchanges woth Chuq von Rospach I have reason to suspect a bunch of less than real votes from apple.com. Be that as it may, there is nothing above that indicated sexism. That is just the most bizarre conclusion I've ever seen drawn from a scant fact of two. I may be a pig, but I'm not sexist. Feel entirely welcome to demonstrate how this is sexist though. And yes, everyone who votes gets the same response. There's been so much bullshit about this whole issue, not to mention highly improprietous acts by the allegedly objective Mr. Woods that I though a pointer to one article that represented what the whole group is about may help. I've cross posted this to soc.women to get a more objective handle on this sexist issue, to alt.flame because this pissed me off, and to the new group alt.stupidity because thats where the things belongs in the first place. -- ``Mathematics is a fiction created by man to rationalize the universe.

Well, we at the illustrious AT&T sites don't get alt.stupidity so we must not have any here, and we don't get alt.flame cause we must not have any here, and we don't get talk rape so we must not have any of that either, and so naturally we don't get alt.sex because we don't... oh, never mind, I've forgotten what it was all about anyway... -- tom chapin att!hrccb!tjc tjc@hrccb.att.com
