The online community is far lessdependent on the classic "networking" addressed in the article ofafter-work time, golf on the weekends, etc. These things may stillplay a role in gender discrimination in conventional brick-and-mortarcompanies, but to give it a technical slant is misleading.The online technical community networks through email, web pages,netnews articles, and text messaging. These media are for the mostpart blind to gender and race issues although some inference could bemade based on the names involved.The references given are also ancient and irrelevant to moderntechnology, going back to the time of the cotton gin and Taj Mahal.Jay Hennigan - CCIE #7880 - Network Administration - jay@west.netWestNet: Connecting you to the planet. 805 884-6323 WB6RDVNetLojix Communications, Inc. - http://www.netlojix.com/
