I resurect this thread, becasue I think it is legitmate. My G/F does occasionally puruse (but not post), but there is a considerable lack of women in the engineering business, and I guess computing is no more so.
However I would ask people don't use *ahem* sexy images in their signatures and stuff. When my G/F does visit the last thing she wants to see is some girlie pics, it's alienating, and keeps up the image of blokish behaviour, and not the intelligent discussion forum this place often is.
Of course this might be taken as a refusal of your rights to do what the hell you want, and fair enough, but it's still worthy of discussion, thinks I. Of course this is inspired by Sporkme / bob, and I intend no insult to you, and I am not trying to force you to remove your sig., but I would be interested in the views of others.
At what point is free expression to be given way to the prefered will of the majority, if at all? Is a person's own perception of acceptability always good for a community? And now I think about it, this would apply to M$s' market control. Hmmmm....thinks.....ouch that hurts.
