Ubuntu-Women Goals (was: [UbuntuWomen] (No, you're not... :))

[KingBahamut]

I try my hardest (as most of my writers on the UDSF - http://doc.gwos.org ,
irc.freenode.net #ubuntu-gwos) to supply  nessecary aid regardless of
gender. I myself personally do not participate in such pissing contests
(Such elitist contests to me are the stuff of things that come from a cows
rectum). Im too old for that, Im all about the user. Its a sad state of
affairs to see that occur , specially in such a humanistic community as
ours. Im a guy, but I try to help all who need it.
