- I think about that a lot actually. It just makes me feel even more
- convicted to declare again that this is exactly the attitude that keeps
- many women from posting here: because some men think just because we
- post they can fill our mailboxes with whiny junkmail. I think we deserve
- to be treated with respect, and as a matter of fact, most men do. But
- maybe the remaining ones who do stuff like that just can't be helped :(
- I really don't want to post any of the mail I have received (for obvious
- reasons) but some of it was just not appropriate.
-
- Howard, I hope you also get what you deserve :)
