AHA! IT IS him! I am sure we were ALL wondering, and now we know! There
is only one Mr. Wah Chan in the women-in-bio newsgroup!
As far as I am concerned, you may contribute all you like Mr. Chan. But
just know that when you contribute something offensive, people WILL take
offense and will, in all liklihood, call you on it. As I recall, this
was the problem the last time I was participating. You were flooding the
group with outrage at being yelled at for your offensive opinions. So I
would say, " By all means, contribute, Mr. Chan, but when you get
reprimanded for something by more than one person, assume you were
offensive (even if you refuse to accept that you could be wrong!) and do
not make matters worse by fanning the flames with yet more outrageous and
insulting remarks!" If you make that your plan of action, I think we'd
welcome your perspective. If you do not make that your plan of action, it
gets to be too tiring to have to read this stuff and people drop out
because no one wants to have to wade through it to get to the good stuff
contributed by other people. And then YOU wind up having to ask, "where
IS everybody?"
At least that's my opinion.....
