And then every once in a while you find out that someone on the list you don't suspect to be female is ... and that someone who you think surely must be just happens to have a name that is generally attached to females in your part of the world, but isn't in his, or whatnot. I seem to recall Ms. Lavigne, in writing about attending BSDCan some <last?> year, mentioned that she did feel to be part of a minority. But FreeBSD isn't really about gender, anyway.... OTOH, I never call any of them when mysqld is down, and don't intend to. I imagine that if there are men in their lives, maybe they don't talk about MySQL anyway.... Now the other day at, hmm, I think it was "errorwear"'s site, I did notice where a fellow had written in about his g/f, who was admirable for her love for network topology, camshaft mods and race driving, and other, um assets. But I'm starting to think he made it all up, and was pretty good with photoshop/GIMP. :-) >ok i will narrow the specification a bit, which of you ever >encountered a woman that knows the difference between giving her your >phone number or giving her a ip address ? > > Dollars to donuts that everyone of them knows what you're up to, they just don't care much; if you give 'em a phone # they don't intend to call, and if you give 'em an IP they'll only hit 'ya if nmap(1) finds any interesting ports :-D Kevin Kinsey
