Sonny - I really ask myself ( and asked myself when this flap began ) if
there IS anyone on the list who is African American. 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? :-)
