DYB should stay and keep posting

[Meg Larson]

FTR--I wasn't singling Diana out or separating her from anyone else.  I
never intended for Diana to get off the list; I guess I was really
commenting on ALL the bullshit that's been flying on this list lately. 
Sorry if I didn't make that clear.

However, her post to Andrew came off as so much male-bashing that I
couldn't resist a response.  A-and I can bash males with the best of 'em,
however, in this case, I don't see her point.

Not everything can be reduced to gender, sorry to say.
