You think so? I did not note where your sex was at issue. If I
implied that, I did not see it, and would appreciate you pointing out
anything I said that did imply that.

Actually, you presented no hard facts or statistics at all, that
appeared on my server, anyway. You presented your opinions. I did
present some hard facts, and a citation as well, see those I mentioned

May, 1987 or "World Agricultural Production", WAP-1-91, Jan 1991.

Your gender does not bother me. I did not even comment on it. I did
comment that your style was quite similar to Shiela the "Word
Warrior". I stand by that observation.
>"Word Warrior?" "Female Nudds"?
>Dear me, I could throw a few esoterically condescending labels your way,

I presume that was someone else's comment about Scott Nudds. I use
his name as a convenient technique to judge how much fact I can expect
to be displayed in a thread (the more Nudds, the less fact, in my
opinion). You have not achieved that status yet.
>What's the average age of this little thread, I wonder?
Average age? It looks to be about 4 or five messages deep on my
display. Is that what you mean?
