Grant, what's wrong with the behaviour of a 'bunch of school girls?' Why should it be any less acceptable than the behaviour of, say, a 'bunch of school boys?' Judging by the offense you take to some of the more colourful descriptive phrases that enliven this list, you seem to be too much the sensitive type to indulge in intentionally sexist remarks. Which leads me to wonder if your 'bunch of school girls' analogy is not a leak from the deep recesses - you know - a little spill over from your inner pool of repression. What led to your subconcious belief that girls, or more particularly, girls in a group are, somehow, inferior? Was it a childhood conditioning thing? Or did you, perhaps, suffer some unfortunate incident at the hands of a 'bunch of school girls' such that you now have these negative feelings about collectives of young females. Maybe you would like to share with us. Was it so terribly traumatic? Has it left deep scars? Are you, even now, distressed by the mere *thought* of a 'bunch of school girls?' Grant, in sharing is healing. And many on this list are trained to help with cases like this. Open up and you will find you are among friends here. rgrds, billyw -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
