- Wrong! The reason that women don't post is that the majority of
- the men who do post don't exhibit enough good sense and good taste to
- merit response or association. There's more to appeal than hanging
- from your wit eating bananas and flaming the arangatangs. People have
- their acts in real face to face senarios more than on the net. It's
- so easy to be yourself to a computer screen and the rest of the
- audience out there know it. If they don't respond, look to your own
- irresponsible actions and words.
