: 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

: 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

: 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

: 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.....

Alice,
	I do not mind people criticising my or anyone else's opinion
wether it is popular with this group or not it just that when critism
becomes directly personal that I oppose to. If you can recall I NEVER
made any personal attack on anyone just staying with what I believed
and I feel some of the hate mails I had receieved was by some members here
resorted to "name calling" which I find rather childish from these women of
science that I wonder if I had joined "rec.alt.hate" newsgroup.
By all means criticise  any of my comment you disagree ( that is your right)
but not me personally, how does anyone knows how to hate the other person
without ever knowing him or her.


	Wah.
