Hey there, peeps...!

Just curious as to how many of the female persuasion grace the halls of the MacNN Forums here. Is the whole idea of discussing an Operating System on a message board a "Guy-Thing" or are the ladies "reprasen'in" at all here...?

Sure... I could make this a poll... but it's not THAT interesting of a question... plus I bet it's been asked a billion & one times before.

G'day, all...

peace

You insensitive clod. Some of us are hermaphroditic, changing sex as our little community requires. I began my life as a lowely male, but after several successful spawnings have since taken over the role of lead female for my school.

You crazy humans and your idiotic questions.

Wow, you're an idiot.

These forums are mostly a guy place, mainly because the IT indsutry and computers in general are a male field. I've only seen a few women around here in my time. But, I'm probably mistaken, you can't really tell gender on here.

I've also seen very few. eventually the gender comes out if they (the females) hang out in the lounge long enough. from time to time someone will post a 'calling all macnn females' thread or the like.

"Hey there, peeps...!"

"G'day, all..."

"peace"

With such smooth talk, I'm sure they'll all be coming out of the woodwork now!
