Yup, it takes all kinds to make a membership approaching 60,000. I've seen more common courtesy, mutual interest and generous sharing here, though, than flaming, discouragement and mean-minded selfishness. If it were otherwise, MR wouldn't have become my virtual pub. Cheers and best wishes. Neil

We may be the most over-educated collection of individuals on the internet. This makes Mobileread an excellent training ground for any profession that may entail argument. Good practice for lawyers, legislators, debaters, authors, and even scientists. Ever met a writer who was not opinionated? Doubtful. |

Was this statement meant to be courteous? Blaming an entire generation of women for working? Your generation isn't more polite, it's just more steathly about being rude/vindictive. Perhaps if you take a step back you'll see that it's common for cultures to relax their social norms and behaviors. And guess what? I'm a woman wearing a dress with NO STOCKINGS right now. My grandmother would have a fit if she could see me. Last edited by queentess; 09-23-2010 at 02:40 PM. |

...**poke poke** .... I see you
PS/Mr. PLD, don't take this place too serious. We're all here to have fun. I think most of the overly obnoxious trolls get squashed in due course and you're left with just a bunch of opinionated old fuddy-duddies that remember the glory days of when you used to read something called paper! |
