Why there aren't any female regulars in c.l.c?

I'm a lurker here, and I do not find any female regulars here in
c.l.c.
Is it something thats got to do with their genes?

Yes. Many women lack the stupidity gene, and therefore they stay well
away from Usenet.
Which is probably true of many men as well. More to the point, women
can be just as stupid as men. When they are stupid though they tend to be
stupid in their own ways.

Nope. Women can't be just as stupid as men (at least in the extreme
cases, which is what we really need to worry about). ACL something of
a net-pest when she first arrived at comp.lang.c but she learned over
time.

Who's ACL? Must've stopped posting before mid-2005.

Why do you care?

Why do you care why he (or she) cares?
Because he/she's starting off-topic threads with it. Of course, I'm
perpetuating one. Basically I want to know where she/he is going with
this, and whether I need to plonk.

Best read in chronological order, starting with the oldest, if you
want to get the real flavor of it:

Yes, long, long before mid 2005. Haven't heard a peep from her since
at least six years before that, perhaps longer.

Probably out cruising for a piece of....female posterior. :)
Why do you care why he (or she) cares?

(Okay, your turn)
Sorry, couldn't resist.

I can pin down the lower bound a bit more precisely by saying that she
was no longer posting when I arrived at university and discovered usenet
in 1999.

They read the instructions before beginning, so have not as
yet needed to ask for help.

One wrote me in email that she dislikes posting here because of the
brusque responses.

I suspect it has something to do with the well-known fact that the
relevant standards permit them to exhibit undefined behavior in an
alarmingly large number of circumstances. (Of course, the behavior
specified for men is not always convenient.)

My observation is that over the past few months many of our regulars seems to be drifting away, making fewer contributions or none at all. Why? I can speculate: 1. The quality of questions here in CDMA has been low; 2. The regulars are busy with paying work; 3. Contributing to the MS groups may result in recognition in the form
