   ( following up:

     lots of stuff involving some old-fashioned dull male-oriented

     made into something a little less pointless, like a hostel for
     the homeless, a creche, or a shopping mall

   I really can't see the point of getting ANGRY at something like this.
   I think that women should be allowed to be members in exactly the same way
   as men, but getting ANGRY that they aren''t is a complete and utter
   waste of time.  ANGER is a self-defeating emotion and if you feel
   ANGRY you won't be most effective in altering the situation.  Negative
   emotions like ANGER impair your ability to solve problems or act
   efficiently or effectively or think rationally.  So let's get rid
   of all this pointless ANGER.

Okay, thanks Antoni... and over to the rest of the newsgroup... anyone out
there like to suggest ways of releasing our ANGER?  any useful tips for
GETTING RID of this negative, pointless, self-defeating EMOTION?

Personally, I find that flinging copies of "Z, AN INTRODUCTION TO FORMAL
METHODS" across the room does the trick.  :)

lots of love

Jim
