I believe that the issues discussed in the Cinenova posting matter to filmmakers, visual artists, academics, students, researchers, arts policy workers - I think I have just enumerated the members of this mailing list. With reference to your cryptic remark, a sizeable proportion of them are probably women, although this consideration is actually neither primary nor crucial, since we're taling about a distribution archive that contains some of the most important, and sole, copies of experimental, narrative, and documentary film in existence. If it is not of interest to you, then you are within your rights to ignore it, as not every message on a mailing list will be of equal significance to all its members. Your remark is clearly not to meant to initiate any sort of discussion or declare any position - so why bother? That augurs some sort of desperation to be sure, but there's really no necessity for me to speculate on what kind.
