Actually, I also regularly pester the assembly newgroups too (CLAX and ALA

lmfao...no...sorry...hehehehe ;)

Oh good...I wasn't being completely paranoid then...someone else spotted the
nasty edge and automatic "she's stupid" attitude then...lol :)

To be fair, it seems that it's bred into men by society or something...I
know guys who you know for a fact really don't think that way at all, but
suddenly descend into things like assuming I'm going to be cooking or doing
the housework...a quick "ahem" and they realise what they've done but it's
been bred into the society, the language, the culture so far that I don't
think real equality will come around for a while yet...

Anyway, as though some of the feminists out there aren't "man-haters"...I
hate to be associated with some of the clap-trap that's spouted...you know,
"all men are potential rapists" and all that BS...

The whole point is _equality_ that means no bias...EITHER WAY...accepting,
of course, that men and women are _not_ the same...so just doing as the
other does is not a solution either...

Anyway, this is off-topic...and likely to make the membership of my "fan
club" drop into negative figures...lol :)

> BTW, I think we're going a bit over the top with these smileys.  :?b

lol...sorry...I have a habit of smileys...and, anyway, the whole point about
emoticons is to convey the more "emotional" parts that can't translate into
text (i.e. jokey/ironic/sarcastic/etc. tones)...people commonly overlook my
smileys and then start attacking my jokes with serious argument...so if I
overuse them, its my continual attempt at getting people to notice that I
was joking...

Anyway, I'm just a happy and an emotional girl all the time, what can I say?
lol ;)

Oh yeah...oops...sorry, guys...I just hit the reply button...hehehehe...big
oopsy-daisy there ;)
