Females in the community.

[Meta via Digitalmars-d]

I wasn't planning on replying to this thread, but I think we 
should all stop for a moment and marvel at the amazing power of 
this mailing list to derail discussions. We've gone from women in 
the community, to the merits of NNTP vs. web forums, to current 
politics. If the powers of this list could be properly harnessed, 
flame wars would become a thing of the past, buried and smothered 
out under pages and pages of digression. Even what is arguably 
the most inflammatory discussion topic in tech right now is no 
match for the power of forum.dlang.org. Let's all pat ourselves 
on the back for having discovered the perfect weapon to combat 
internet flame wars.
