Sandra and Fred,
Considering how quickly you guys resolved this after I sent my message, I
regret that I said anything -- I would have done better to sit back and let
you guys sort it out. 20/20 hindsight. Sorry.
I do think that an often-overlooked option is to send a message privately,
and make sure you understand what somebody was trying to say, before making
public assumptions/accusations. It's possible that was not a good option in
this case for reasons I'm not aware of. But it might be a good thing for us
all to keep in mind, on a list where misunderstandings and disagreements are
likely to be fairly common.

there is no way, that on a gender gap mailing list, that I'm going to sit
back and let those things slide. Maybe someone from the foundation can
volunteer. As long as I know that those comments are being addressed,
whether on the mailing list or off the mailing list, I'm fine. But i would
be alot quieter if I got that reassurance.
