And there's the rub

[Kala Pierson <k@xxxxxxxxxx>]

...And some of you wonder why there are few girls active on this list.  It's called a self-perpetuating cycle.  I stay on this list (as I have for 3+ years) for the discussions of the sounds & the culture, and I do my best to ignore the many threads -- such as this one -- that make me want to unsub.

I think we can all get our heads around this logic: the biggest problem with asking "Hey, where's the girls?" is that this sets up an expectation that the number of us actually on the list is equal to (or similar to) the number who waste their time responding to that question.

Now excuse me, I'll get back to work.
