I have noticed >> this in almost every game. I suppose bridge might be an exception. -- Tom West > Not really....... You can see my confusion over your article. You appeared to be disagreeing with someone who was saying that there are a good QUANTITY of women bridge players. I never made the connection you were actually talking about the QUALITY of women bridge players. I have no disagreement with you on the latter count. I was trying to say that there are more women than men bridge players. I just presented the facts. I gave no reasons for this apparant observation. You did a fine job in your second article of presenting possibilities. I now see you also agree with the original statement that was made. Sorry for the misinterpretation. > But once you progress beyond the social level, > bridge is quite male-dominated. Once again, I was still under the assumption that QUANTITY, not QUALITY was being discussed. You really should have presented your article under a different and new heading to make it obvious. I sort of naturally assume a response to an article will stick to the subject matter. Anyway, it does appear that we agree on both counts. We were just on different wavelengths. Robert
