hey now legolas, don't take it that way... we're a tad defensive about our corner, because we have to fight so hard to keep it ours. It makes it hard to talk about it without trying to justify it, like we have had to so much. so, can we try again?
i agree, it does kinda suck we have to tuck ourselves into a corner to get a bit of room to breathe. But, that's the way it is. I think, probably because we're so badly outnumbered. If you really feel the need to help someone, feel free to PM them. I always enjoy getting friendly messages from people, and i'm sure others do, too. If you're looking for women's opinions, I'd post in advise and mention you're interested in women's opinions. We DO see other parts of the site than just the LL, you know

i hope that cleared things up, sorry you felt so attacked.
