> [@Desmostylus](#): > > You e-mail broken again, **Lib**? Can’t remember how to send them, or something like that? Or is this just another public wank? This seems to be a common retort to threads like this, or to threads apologising about stuff, or to threads about why The Dope does certain things, yada, yada. (I’m not singling out **Demo** ) Which leads me to say: **It’s a public message board.** When a thread is closed with a snarky remark, or a Doper has a virtual meltdown, or a new rule seems to have been made and used… then the reply or question SHOULD BE AS PUBLIC as the original thing which brings up the reply or questions. Why should it be secret? Especially when the thing which gives birth to such threads is NOT private? ---

I agree with Libertarian. (Hah, I said it.) Gaudere, IMHO, has the fewest administrative decisions with which I disagree. Kudos, and thank you for doing a thankless job. ---

I believe [this picture of Gaudere](http://www.smackfu.com/photos/chidope2003/grafton/IMG_0956.JPG.html), proves that yes, she is a woman. ---

Appearance in this case is not deceiving. SDMB Male to female ratio notwithstanding, **Gaudere** has been fairly well surrounded (from what I remember, anyway) by male dopers each time I have seen her. ---

> [@pepperlandgirl](#): > > No shit. Talk about a back-handed compliment. I disagree. How is it insulting to call somebody “young”? A little patronizing perhaps, but not insulting. Of course, it’s been a while since anybody called me young, so maybe my memory is going. You damn kids. Get outta my yard! Back in my day we used to wear an onion on belt, which was the fashion at the time… ---

You had hydrogen? All we had was helium, and the other kids used to laugh at our voices. ---
