You only have to sit in IRC for 20 years to know that most participants are male, that said, I do know a couple of women that I'd be over the moon to have work with/for me, or work for. Why? Because they have an interest, always did, and always will, they live it, like most of us do, they got where they are now because of it too, just like we all did.<BR>
