You could make a quiz from this statement, asking which one of these 5 sentences
is the true *one*. :o) I have been told, "Sorcerers get all the girls", but this
was a computer game.

Btw. we still have the same problem at the CSS-Forum which doesn't have girls. I
tried to advertise in a german women's usenet group (which was called "woman
only" or similar). They were actually talking about flowerpots and cosmetics
there... not a single feminist to find! There was seemingly not much
self-confidence among these girls, that woman in general may have the same
talent for chess like men. I had to try to convince THEM that they have the same
talent in general. One of them openened a message board for "women and chess",
but didn't get much visitors.

Of course, none of them ever paid a visit to the CSS-Forum... at least none ever
posted.

How can we change this?
