Doug,

I really enjoy your website "Arboriculture Trees and Timber"
and appreciated your response regarding women and censorship.
As for your comment on a separate discussion group for women
No, I am not interested in any form of segregation. I enjoy
reading what the guys write and am truly interested in their
opinions.

At worst, I was disappointed by some of the guys responses.
I do my job every day regardless of what other people think,
I'm comfortable with my abilities and myself. I don't need
their reassurance or acceptance although it would be nice.
What I do need is access to their expertise. Let's face it,
men in this profession have a history women do not. Without
them how can I continue to grow and learn?

Bye!
Laura B.
