Analyst Stacey Quandt on the future of Linux (IBM) Posted Apr 30, 2004 8:01 UTC (Fri) by piman (subscriber, #8957) [Link] I have no idea, but I suspect you still are.
Analyst Stacey Quandt on the future of Linux (IBM) Posted Apr 30, 2004 15:41 UTC (Fri) by einstein (subscriber, #2052) [Link] Wow, you read a lot into my comment -but really, I think Ms Quandt is great, what I've heard from her in the past struck me as insightful, and not what you'd hear from one of the cluless old-boy gartner types spouting the party line.
Analyst Stacey Quandt on the future of Linux (IBM) Posted May 1, 2004 2:59 UTC (Sat) by piman (subscriber, #8957) [Link] I didn't read anything into it, besides what you put it in. To quote from the HOWTO:"You may think that your "Are you single?" line is hysterically witty and suave, but she's heard it a million times. Even if you're joking, even if you already have a girlfriend or are married--don't do it." I don't see most females writing "Hey, I wonder if [author] is still single" after any article by a male author; if a male did it for any male author, or a female for a female author, I would expect several insultory responses. What you did was uncalled for, plain and simple.
Analyst Stacey Quandt on the future of Linux (IBM) Posted May 1, 2004 6:59 UTC (Sat) by einstein (subscriber, #2052) [Link] You seem to be taking up an offense for Ms Quandt!I rather think she would have been a much better sport about the tip of the hat, than you were. In any case, I stand by my positive appraisal of Ms Q! But really, if you want to browbeat me further about this, I invite you to do it via email, as this has no doubt become a colossal bore to those who come here to read Linux related news.

I am not saying that you intend to put people off, merely that to many women, men whose reaction to intelligent work by women is, "Is she single?" reminds them strongly of the days when regardless of intelligence, women were expected to make good housewives, and defer to their husbands.
