        This has been hanging round my INBOX for more than a month now,
and I'm still not exactly happy about it. This may have something to do
with the fact that I've been kind of busy looking after a near bed-ridden
girlfriend and still-perfectly-healthy toddler whilst trying to keep a
part-time job and part-time Ph.D. running at the same time. And that
Bedouin gig happened in there too. So might I gently suggest that there
are more (wo)men in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your
generalisation, which despite your happy little disclaimer I still find
pretty offensive. I know some pretty good female-led tripper bands
too. Maybe you could have a fresh take at your gendertyping. Yours,
                                                                    Jon
