Phil,
You've brought up an important issue that's stimulated a lot of discussion, and made some points worth further investigation about male and female participation. I appreciate the fact that the people of PB want to pursue these discussions, and it enhances the community to do so. So, thank you for that!And, if I've been unclear (which I probably have been) I want to clarify the fondness I have for "The Men of PB" and how impressed I've been with the manner in which they interact with the women here. You and your peers seem to be genuinely concerned about all posters, whether male or female. I join you in missing those who've left, and I want them to return (hoping against hope).
You have been an important part of this community, giving support freely, and--just as importantly--asking the hard questions when they need to be asked. So, for the things you do, and the fact that you are still actively participating, I want you to know how much you are appreciated by me and many others.
It will be interesting to see where the male/female question leads. And, if during my mush-brained posts I appeared to be anything but supportive of you...mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. (There are so many posts in the thread that I get a bit cross-wired sometimes about who I've said what to, tho I do try to keep up...)
