- No I did not. You have me confused with some other poster. You had mentioned
- a woman you know who was very aggressive <or something similar>, and I
- suggested that she might have more testosterone than is usual for women.
- You can generalize if you wish, but please do not attribute your
- generalizations to me. I would say that even if I agreed with the
- generalizations, but that is not the issue that I am addressing.

- I found the followup poste quite interesting, and note that you not only did
- not respond, but it looks like <my observation> you will ignore and forget
- the info posted. Why?

- You know, people do the damndest things while posting. Mild mannered wimps
- act like Conan and post threats. Posting behavior would make a nice thesis
- for someone, but if you think that this in any way mirrors their real
- behavior, you might be surprised. This is more true for freshmen and
- newbies from public domain unix systems than long-time posters, although
- some never ourgrow it. A PHD in physics recently posted threatening a
- lawsuit because of a disagreement (Jack Sarfetti, somewhat of a fringe
- physisist, but a PHD nonetheless).
