Are the number of responses a measure of success (as you 
understand it)? Hell no! The "old guard" understands the net.
If women respond to postings - great! If not it's no skin
off anybody's back.

Well "Bird Dog" you're batting 1.000 . Another tirade of macho
bullshit. As someone who will "call them as I see them" you
have this affliction of not getting to the point. Why don't
you define "REAL man" and real "WOMEN" for the whole net to see?
I've seen many messages from women on this net. I'm glad to say
that with a few exceptions the ladies have presented themselves
in a favorable light. If you think you're "going to get a piece"
by posting to this net you're kidding yourself! 

I still find it hard to believe that "Bird Dog" is "real".
"Bird Dog" is probably a frustrated comedian who gets his
yuks by evoking caustic remarks from irritated net readers. To
make matters worse he has now been egged on by a couple of
neanderthals with their chorus of agreement. Maybe they all
own the same book!

Yes, a lot of people are keeping a bucket handy. It's called
/dev/null and your remarks belong there. Enough said.
