I bet that in fact the men who actively participate in most groups, 
including LBO, are, for the most part, men whose comments have been 
acknowledged. In other words, I bet acknowledgement "registers" with both 
men and women, but women are generally ignored. One shouldn't just write 
off women as being supersensitive because we notice this.---Joanne Landy
