Women,
Why are there so few msgs listed for this group? It also seems
like those that are listed do not stay up long. What is the length of
time the posts stay up here? Is there anyway they could be allowed to
stay up longer? After all there is not a huge # of posts to read and I
can't log on enough to get all of them. For example I wanted to reply to
a post I saw a week ago and I couldn't find it and had to go by memory.

PS I like the feminism here, I think it is important to include it in our
discussions of women and science!

hi,
the problem is with the particular software at your site. You may want to
ask your news sysop to increase the time posts stay on.
Hope this is of help.

Just to make things a bit more clear: the time how long an article will remain
in a newsgroup solely depends on the manager of each news server. Here I keep
all articles in this group for 60 days. Thus, it is up to you to contact your
news-, system- or other managers and tell them to modify the expiration time
for this group.

Regards,
Christoph Gartmann
