Please don't make it your mission to try to save my gender Mr. Allisat.  The
best "persons" for the job is what is needed....man, woman....who cares. That
is what makes the Internet the resource it is.  The very fact that you would
insist that representation be based on something other than expertise is in
itself an extremely sexist stance and insulting.  The woman's movement doesn't
need you.

There are many personalities involved here.....with sometimes only words on a
screen to seperate fact from fiction.  We have all stepped down and "poked the
troll" on occasion, myself included...that is what makes this struggle so
hard. So I apologize to all the readers for "poking the troll" again....
