[Gendergap] Gendergap Digest, Vol 9, Issue 16

[Risker]

Hi Maggie -

Could I ask you to please change the subject line when you are replying to
posts?  It appears you're working from a digest version of the list, and
instead of it being clear which thread you're answering, it simply points to
what digest that particular post appeared. Thus, the other readers of your
message have to scramble around trying to figure out what topic you're
referring to. Perhaps if you now plan to be active on this mailing list, you
might want to turn "digest" off.

Thanks,

Risker/Anne
