No Monique you are in the vast majority. I inadvertantly caused this
thread to explode by suggesting there is something wrong with a person who
has such unsubstantiated fears. I stand by that statement. It's not that
I don't sympathize, as a minority in several different ways I understand
where it is coming from, but the insidious thing about it is that it makes
self-confident women like you doubt themselves and the people around them.
Do not fear. Fear is the mind killer.
(Now quoting "Dune" is the kind of nerdy behavior that's going to drive
people away from Debian :-)
