actually, i personally have had enough of that kind of extra work 
(unpaid) and, to boot, find it tedious to explain to men all 
over again - so i am not the one to go into this - 

maybe someone else to promote current field research here - or 
rather by pm to bernard in case this is not a defined list 
focus?

it is marked as a women's list - which obviously in this case 
does not mean women only (just like in a swimming pool, maybe 
let's compare by substituting one gender for the other: if a 
changing room is maked "men" and a woman turns up to use the 
room, what do you think will happen?)

so in fact - right you are, aren't you - here is a nice terrain 
to discover (to put it colonially ;-) - and use - to find out 
how maybe also in open source communities the terrain - which 
terrain - is marked or unmarked and who respects unwritten rules 
and who doesn't see such rules at all and for what reasons 
terrain is marked and the like,

back to work,
cu, Claudia
