I wonder if there aren't many of us who are in the same place as
you, Tricia.  I read most of the lists, contribute when I feel I'm
able without embarassing myself.  And, I just don't like "chat"
software.  Much of the time it seems everyone is talking over
everyone else.  But, I'm getting off topic.

The point is that the only thing I know about the current situation
is what's being said on the lists.  Yet, if the allegations are
true, I'd be hesitant to say that I have much confidence in either
of the women who've been called into questions.  That's in addition
to my current feelings of having been "stung" by one of them
already.

I would really like to hear both sides, in an impartial manner.  If
that's via IRC, then I guess I'll depend on others.
