Why dwell on sex profiling? Why not age, education, IQ etc. I expect the scores 
for the sundial mailing list and sundial societies would be high in these 
categories as well. It doesn't matter as the list and the societies self 
select. If you are interested in sundials, join the group and participate. We 
all learn as much from the newby questions as the sage advice. Without this 
broad spectrum and diversity, we are just a bunch of old guys talking to 
ourselves. No Thanks! We should aspire to be three years old again, continuing 
to ask "why?" but now we can be rewarded by these discussions. We are no longer 
frustrated by the adult response "Just because, that is the way it is."

"Cogito ergo sum" has no other qualifiers.

Subject: Where are the women?


I've just noticed that, as long as I remember, there is no female participation 
in this mailing list. As I study in the Astronomical and Geophysical Institute 
at the University of Sao Paulo, where we lack not of the gracious presence of 
women - there are more men here, but women are expressive too - I strange their 
absence from our astronomical inquiries and conversations. Maybe there is some 
truth in that old cliché of men being more prone to math and abstration than 
them?
