Perhaps they were raised right, or perhaps they were dscouraged from posting anything by some of the replies on the list. I think "Africans eating Africans" takes the cake so far. If this list really were some kind of normal sample, wouldn't we expect more women? How many women are there in that 1000? 400? :-) stuart phillips - ----- Original Message ----- From: "(SonC) Sonny Carter" <sonc@sonc.com> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Monday, September 02, 2002 5:34 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] the latest madness - > Stuart, > I find it difficult to join you in the radical assumption that there are no > African Americans on this list amongst the 1000 plus members.
