Oh come on Larry, we all know why nobody posts to this group. The
group that orginally WON by vote was named "comp.women" but certain
net.patriarchs (not to be confused with noble net.patriots) stubbornly
refused to honor any newgroup until the epithet "society" was inserted
in the name (roughly equivalent to forcing the fish-heads to put
"pets" somewhere in sci.fishbreath). As a result the group became
totally unusable for whatever it was originally supposed to be usefull
for, and we now have the current unused group.

And people say that names fnord aren't important ?!
