Reading one posting this morning about women wizards made me think about the subject of wizards as a moving target. "Standards" change, we have to remember this. During WWII, Black soldiers were segregated and given labor, and many White soldiers saw their fight as "the Job." This perception changed somewhat during the coming years thru Korea and Vietnam. What we look at with respect now (wizards) may in the future be regarded as grunt work. This bears watching; nothing may come of it, but this type of redefinition has kept other minorities, religions, and other disadvantaged groups "out" in the past. --eugene
