Summary: 

Re the flames on Will Doherty's AIDS info article:

     Cheryl and Snoopy, I think you're off base on this one.  I think Will
was trying to get to people who have some interest in non-traditional sexual
practices (e.g. any extramarital sex).  His reasoning was probably that the
net.women community would have an unusually high intersection with this
group of people.  A slightly stereotyping assumption, maybe, but not flame
material.  I myself found it informative, and I don't think I read *any* of
the other groups on the original message's newsgroups line.
     I actually think that we should have a net.sex newsgroup for this kind
of thing, but it would probably generate a lot of undesirable articles.
