Interesting, Patricia is doing a job that used to be done by Gene 
Spafford (SPAF), before he organized CERT (the real net-police),
and is doing it much more diplomatically and graciously than Spaf ever 
did.  If she didn't do it, there would be some nasty side effects like 
systems administrators not taking the alt feeds.  If you've ever been on 
a system that didn't take the alt.personals or alt.* you know what you 
were missing.

I'm a male feminist.  People recognize this when I express sentiments 
that differentiate me from a tin soldier.
