I get the digest, so my responses are always delayed a day, but I can't
resist making a few comments on yesterday's acid bantering. First of
all, Saundra, I am sorry that you're leaving in the midst of this spirit
of disrespect. It has been a pleasure knowing you, and we all wish you
the best. Secondly, Kelly Jo, I would like to suggest a personal plan
for furthering your ideals. You will always effect more change by your
example than by an attack on personal character, habits, values, or
attitude. Your anger toward people on this list is misdirected and
inappropriate. I am proud to belong to a group of enlightened people,
and the female representation in this technical group is encouraging.
Remember also that it's generally not the people on the fringe of
society who lead the way, but the people in the mainstream who make
small steps forward so the rest of us can follow. You can be an example
for feminism by simply building economic power. There are also mentoring
opportunities that will allow you to encourage girls. I am involved with
a group called Women in Mathematics, mentoring three 8th grade girls
this semester. The person in charge of the program is PaulaSloan at
Meredith College, 660-7737. If anyone else on the list is involved with
similar mentoring activities, please post information about them. Kelly
Jo, I will be interested to know in what way you choose to do your part
to make the world a better place.

Respectfully yours,
Maria
