	Hi there.  Interesting question.  What newsgroups have you seen the 
lack of women on?  I am very active on the rec.sport.boxing group (a tiny 
island of sanity in a sea of opinionated males), plus lots of other newsgroups 
I read have plenty of females posting.  No - I am NOT interested in the pen 
pal, find-a-lover, sex, etc., types.  I stick to those that I can contribute 
to or learn from.  Plus, I also learned how to use my kill file in case I ran 
into anyone whose blatherings I didn't want to read.  ;)D
