    Not one to post twice on an article very often but...

    it sure seems there is alot of first timers (or first day-ers) on this thread. Seems to me to be a concerted effort to complain about the sexism or some conservative saying how this has helped them. It's easy to recognize "outside" traffic.

    I think the article is funny, effective and accurate. It seems to scare the hell out of alot of people and the reactions seem to show that everyone has an agenda (personal or otherwise).

    It is a triumph of free speech - both the article and letters.
