You know of course that posting emai lcauses the end of the world
as we know it, plus it's illegal. The correct way to handle this
is to paraphrase the email.

{ranitng about my being a sexist pig deleted]

Based of private email exchanges woth Chuq von Rospach I have 
reason to suspect a bunch of less than real votes from apple.com.

Be that as it may, there is nothing above that indicated sexism. That
is just the most bizarre conclusion I've ever seen drawn from a scant
fact of two.

I may be a pig, but I'm not sexist.

Feel entirely welcome to demonstrate how this is sexist though.

And yes, everyone who votes gets the same response. There's been
so much bullshit about this whole issue, not to mention highly
improprietous acts by the allegedly objective Mr. Woods that I though
a pointer to one article that represented what the whole group
is about may help.

I've cross posted this to soc.women to get a more objective
handle on this sexist issue, to alt.flame because this
pissed me off, and to the new group alt.stupidity because 
thats where the things belongs in the first place.
