I apologize, Orna. I actually think that a woman can be "one of the
guys" and there are quite a few girls that do that better than myself!
I retract the rude statement.

I cannot believe that exists! I will read it. Is there a Hebrew version?

I will make an effort to not write such manner on the mailing list.
You are correct, it is out of place. Many things can be said in person
and understood to be a joke, but in type that is not possible. I will
try to consider the medium when expressing myself, that is a good
lesson to learn no only for Linux mailing lists, but for life in
general.

So, er, how was the pizza?
