It occurred to me to wonder what the posting ratios between male vs.
female listmembers had been lately, compared to some earlier times.
If anyone wants to wade through a few months from way back when and
analyze the question, and then do the same for, say, December 2001 and
January 2002, I'd be interested in the results. I could even provide
ridiculously huge files that ought to include most of the posts for
given months. (Jeroen probably could as well -- I sent him zip files of
a lot of them in the past.)
So -- anyone want to do any analysis like that?
Also, I get the feeling that lately I'm the only female posting in any
volume, and that's not good for balance. (I'm not the most balancing
individual around....)
