Hi Gebhard,

There's a bit more, ya know:

"Are LinuxChix lists really just for women? 

Nope - with the exception of the grrls-only list. As long as people are 
generally polite and helpful, anyone is welcome. I reserve the right to 
change this policy at any time, of course. Please try to remember that these 
are lists primarily meant for women."

I left out the last line "Act as if your mom/sister/daughter were subscribed, 
and everything should be fine" on purpose, because the way some folks treat 
their mom/sister/daughter is absolutely shameful.   :)
