Comments like this one out of the blue really make me wonder about the
motivations of some posters to net.women.  This is clearly a trap to
get the "raving feminists" to rave.  I guess some men really have to
prove by any means that they are somehow superior.  Ok, GEORGE, men are
superior to women when it comes to tennis, which I guess will magically
make YOU superior since you are a man, even though most probably Martina
could cream YOU any time.

Ok, that one is settled (I actually thought that it had been settled quite
a while ago by Billie Jean King but let's ignore that).  So, now, do you
have anything of interest to CONTRIBUTE to this mailgroup?
