	*What* tee hees and snickers?  I didn't make any tee hees or snickers.
Trivia?  Trivia is defined as "insignificant information"; what I posted was far
from insignificant, it was a means for single women and lesbian couples to have
children in a society whose institutions won't recognize their rights to do so.
	Did I get my jollies doing it?  Yes, I enjoy sharing low-technology in-
formation.  Even more, I enjoyed receiving thank-yous from women all over the
country, including a number who tell me they've used the information.
	(By the way, I love the way you put it:  "the kids group" - it sounds
like there are kids running around the group whose minds will be corrupted by
the mention of semen.)

> You must assume that everyone out here is stupid or something.

	Why?  Because I'm telling them how to have babies?
	Did *you* know that the semen would have to be transferred within an
hour?  That the woman should lay on her back with her hips raised for an hour
or so after insemination?
	I'll bet you didn't, but that doesn't mean I think you're stupid.  It
means the technology wasn't made available to you.  Until now, that is.

	I posted it to net.kids, net.motss (watch your case-sensitivity there),
and net.women because it has to do with single women (net.women) or lesbian
couples (net.motss) who want children (net.kids).
	And please explain three things for me:  (1) why does this appear to be
written "from the perspective of an 11 year old"; (2) what does "the perspective
of an 11 year old" have to do with net.motss; and (3) why shouldn't what you
call "the kids group" *not* have something in it "from the perspective of an
11 year old" (-:)?
