- The prevaling "mood" on soc.bi changes all the time. Sometimes it is
- predominately fluffy; other times it seems to be swamped with serious
- discussions; and other times it seems to be full of flames. I agree with
- you that at the moment it seems to quite flamey, but I imagine that this
- will soon pass. I think one reason for the general heat is that feminism is
- being discussed. It seems that a discussion of this topic on soc.bi
- generates a certain amount of heat. Another possible reason is that it
- is approaching Christmas and this might be causing extra stress in the
- lives of some folk here.

- My advice is to post the type of articles which you want to see.
- Hopefully these articles will generate followups and before you know
- it, the prevaling mood of soc.bi will have shifted to something which
- more fully satisfies your needs better.
