- I really can't see the point of getting ANGRY at something like this.
- I think that women should be allowed to be members in exactly the same way
- as men, but getting ANGRY that they aren''t is a complete and utter
- waste of time. ANGER is a self-defeating emotion and if you feel
- ANGRY you won't be most effective in altering the situation. Negative
- emotions like ANGER impair your ability to solve problems or act
- efficiently or effectively or think rationally. So let's get rid
- of all this pointless ANGER.

- Okay, thanks Antoni... and over to the rest of the newsgroup... anyone out
- there like to suggest ways of releasing our ANGER? any useful tips for
- GETTING RID of this negative, pointless, self-defeating EMOTION?

- Personally, I find that flinging copies of "Z, AN INTRODUCTION TO FORMAL
- METHODS" across the room does the trick. :)

- lots of love
