Conference turris::womannotes-v1

    Is the notion of speaking from the heart that alien to you ?
    Go pity yourself - you need it.

    		In your opinion he is adopting an *sshole 
    		persona.  It actually gets kinda funny and
    		refreshing in-between serious notes (yawn).
    
    		That you have to hit return a few fifty times
    		to finish reading.
    

    LQQk past the node name and think about some of the stuff the guy
    enters.....some of his stuff is thought provoking!!!I don't agree
    with him,*but* I don't get @#%&^% at him either....is it because I'm
    a male or is it because I am more compasionate???  
    I don't think I need a smiley face because I don't take offense
    to everything I read!!!

    That might be the only support.  I find a note like this a waste
    of space and time. You might want to bring those notes to another
    conference where other bullshit goes on.

    "a-typical feminist attitude instrinsically associated"
    
    I think you are only listening to the voices that shout.  Some of
    the more moderate voices are drowned out by the noise, including
    the flamers and the flamees.

                    Just incase the basenote gets deleted.

    I would like to express my deepest sympathy to those of you 
    who are convinced that notes are a serious matter and should be
    revered.
    

        Is this either a "women's issue" or "an issue of interest to
        women"? Personally, I'd really like to get back to the
        conference at hand. With notes like this and 264 cluttering the
        file...

I didn't realise this file was for 'feminism', if I had known it was a 
sexist conference I would never have contributed (in humour or seriously)

    			I was only making reference to Kerry's
    		comment that the flames against him were caused
    		by the "feminism" in this file.  I didn't mean
    		to suggest that this file was *for* feminism,
    		but rather that the comments against Kerry were
    		*NOT* inspired by it.

re .21:

	Fair enough.

re .22:

	I don't believe this is a worthless conference and nor do you 
	otherwise you wouldn't be noting here.

Dave.

Any chance you guys could take this nonsense to soapbox where it belongs?

Martin (bored beyond belief)

    I would prefer nonsense like this STAY AWAY from TheNewSOAPBOX.

    Well?  Same question:  is it time to close this one down?

    Everytime I try to access MENNOTES, I get error message that reads
    (also get this for TV)
    
    error RTS3S:NOTES$LIBRARY:MENNOTES, NOTE AS INPUT
    
    can anyone help??

    re -1:
    
    If you're using RTS3S like you typed in your note, you'll never
    get anywhere.  Try RSTS32.

      In brotherhood, please clsoe this note down. And while your are
    it please set "NOTES+NO_MORE_FAULKNER_CRAP"
    
                    REK

    Someone mentioned that this note had nothing to do with feminism
    and thus should be removed and someone else said that if they had
    known that this file was going to have anything to do with something
    sexist like that (feminism), they would never have contributed
    anything.

    Boring - foolish - my vote ------- shut it down - shut it off -

    I'm afraid that if this one is closed, then Kerry or someone will
    start a new nonsense note.  How about we let him play alone, and
    the rest of us will hit "next unseen" and continue to write more
    important notes?

    At this point, i'm not sure what's worse:

    Thanks Ellen.
    
    Unfortunately, I get the same error message.  When I add the entry
    to my main directory, it will say "Mennotes added to directory"
    then I type open MENNOTES and get:
    
    Error opening RSTS32:[NOTES$LIBRARY]MENNOTES.NOTE; as input
    
    Thanks again for any help
    

re:  .36

The following should get it for you.  

If you have MENNOTES as an entry already:   

      MOD ENT MENNOTES/FILE=RSTS32::MENNOTES

The problem seems to have been two-fold.  First, the node name you gave did not
have two colons (":") following it.  Second, the notes$library is not really
a directory name (e.g. [Cooper]) but rather a logical, e.g. DISK$USER:)

Sorry I was using an _English_ dictionary. Obviously the word means 
different things to different cultures.

Dave.

    Suzanne, I really enjoy the notes you have written.  I like to "listen
    to you think" in some of the longer ones.
    
    One piece of feedback, though--
    
    I usually just read the first screen of a note carefully, due to
    time constraints, and I only occasionally do more than skim the
    remaining screens.  I find it easier to quickly read and comprehend
    the notes from people who use the full screen (full in terms of width).
    
    Often I do find myself reading all of your notes, but because of
    the different format it requires some mental "gear changing", and
    it makes it seem as though your notes *are* longer than they are.
    And it takes me a little longer than reading wide notes of the same
    length would take.
    
    (Being able to read notes fast is probably not the highest priority
    for most people in the file, so I am not suggesting that you change
    your format.  I have enjoyed your 3%!)

    I have changed the title on this note

    Peut-on savoir de quoi parlait cette note, svp ? J'arrive, je lis
    des tas de commentaires, des reponses sont effacees, ca bouillonne
    comme dans une cocotte-minute chauffee a blanc, mais quant a savoir
    de quoi ca parle...

    My french is rusty. Tell her she's not missing anything.
    Thanks  Dana

    I've changed the title back at Suzanne's request.

Zoziau, you're probably too young to remember Paris in 1968, but
the phrase "le chien lit" (as used by De Gualle, not as used about
him) describes this note quite well.

(Now, you can laugh at something the Americans can't understand!)

Tes,

Martin

    Ca ne fait rien, je suis curieuse. Je veux savoir ! Je dois pouvoir
    moucher l'auteur, moi aussi. Et comme j'adore manier et malmener
    la syntaxe francaise, je n'ai pas peur des mots. Et Martin se fera
    un plaisir de traduire, n'est-ce pas ?
    
    Qui m'enverra une copie de la note complete (268.0 -> 268.44) ?

    Zoziau

At home this morning waiting for a diving board to be installed in
my basement... My dictionary and I will attempt to rise to Ms "vanilla-
strawberry's" latest:  [besides, I have to!]

			   -< a couple of slaps ? >-

    No big deal, I'm curious.  I want to understand!  I need to be
    able to tell off the author, me too. And, since I love to mold
    and mistreat French syntax, I'm not afraid of words.  And Martin
    enjoys translating, right?

    Who can send me a copy of the complete (268.0->268.44)?
