Is the group just a mailing list, i.e an mail alias for a bunch of people? How do people who are not in it join? by asking the moderator? > 2) Do we want women only on the list? (and how can we tell if someone > is bogus??) I think it depends on what the topics discussed will be, if it is simply feminism, then I think men should definitely participate. What would be the reasons for keeping the men out? > 3) Do we want only feminists on the list? (I think we could spot those who are > bogus pretty quickly but the ringer could have the name list by then and bug > us all with stupid mail). What is the definition of a feminist. Is it something like the one I posted some time ago, or is it completely different? Sophie Quigley watmath!saquigley
