I don't know much about programming but I admire the accomplishments
over the years how far that it has come where it makes peoples lives a
lot easier as woman as this sounds..and I am a women in laymen terms
but I am glad that we have programmers and hope that they keep
expanding and excelling for excellence.

you might find the thread "Re: Why are women too dumb to program a
computer???"
interesting. The thread was started by a flamer, but quickly became
sane.

What is your point?

You stop by a Java-group to announce that you, as a woman, feel good
because there are programmers around making people's lives easier?

Why?

I don't mean to be rude, but this is quite an unusual post and I wish to
understand what reason you had for posting it.

My personal guess is, that this is either the same guy who started
the other thread, (just this time in disguise) or just yet another
troll, trying to fan the flames that the first one started, but which
have now degenerated into a (mostly) civilized (albeit still off-topic)
discussion.

It's of course also possible that this posting was actually correct,
and the author of this is woman/friend/relative of some regular c.l.j.p
poster(-ess), who got to see that other thread, and who just wanted to
throw in her own personal opinion.

who knows / who cares?

Could be.

Could be as well.
