This term "PC" meaning "politically correct" really bothers me in that it seems an indictment of polite sensitivity.

Boyd) Date: Wed, 15 Mar 95 9:19:26 EST Has anyone been able to contact these people about this conference through e-mail? This was posted on ecofem on Feb 9 and I've tried 3 times now without success to e-mail the address given. I can't find an e-mail address for Lousine Shamamian who apparently was the original poster and Bonnie Cranmer, the person to contact for info, doesn't answer her e-mail I guess. I don't get any mail refusal messages, just no answers. Do they really want anyone to come to this or am I the only one having trouble getting information? Do any of you know any one at Hollins who might be able to talk to me by e-mail about this?
