Excellent. I’ll take the ginger snaps, and make some small and crunchy, and some larger and softer. We should really eat them still warm from the oven. Mmm, coffee, a choice of cookies – who needs recognition and respect? 😛 ---

> [@Freudian\_Slit](#): > > I do sort of feel you guys on the whole, “is this cliquish” thing. Sometimes I think about starting threads like this but end up just dropping a PM at the poster I think is awesome. Rock on, awesome doper women. Nope, not cliquish. I just really dig the comments and attitudes of the Women of The Dope! Where else can a guy read bright women saying what’s really on their mind? ---

Yes! \*\*Malleus, Incus, Stapes! \*\*is a totally kickass chick in my book, along with many others who’ve already been mentioned, and still more who names escape me. But that’s because I suck at remembering names, \*not \*because they’re not totally awesome and memorable, honest! ---
