At this point of the discussion I'd just like to come out of the closet and let everyone know that I am, indeed, 100% male.
Thanks,

Rachel,
I suspect that there are many more than ten female subscribers to the list.
However, I'd have to agree that there are at least a dozen women who post
somewhat regularly.
Going to our local Oracle User's Group meeting, there are about 25% women
in attendance at the meeting when I look over the crowd. I'm seeing a lot
more young women at the meetings lately.

Please respond
to ORACLE-L
I'm sure if Jared had time, energy or inclination, he could do a guess
from the membership list. However, some names are not intuitively
obvious as to gender.
Not counting lurkers, since I can't tell who they are, I think there
are at least 10 women on the list....
I'm more interested in the numbers to see if this field is less
male-centric than others.
