I think that you upset a lot of women on this site with all of that "alpha princesses", stuff. They get the idea you only want a woman to be at your "beck and call". While this is most likely not true, to some of them it appears to come across this way.

I think one problem with these form of media is that you don't see the facial expressions or tone of voice, someone could be just joking a little but unless you include a smiley or "/sarcasm>" tag, you might be taken seriously. It is very easy to "step in it" accidently. I've done it form time to time, even when I was on Fidonet.

The other day we were talking about the Safeguard system, using the Sprints and Spartans. You are right about that popular science issue-- I have it too- It generally poked fun at the system, explaining why id would not work, how much of a waste it was, andf then, a terrorist scenario of a robot boat carrying a 100M. bomb, to the US, to get around missile defense. Obviously, it was written by a Liberal, hippie type, who thought that all this country needed to do, to be at peace with it's enemies, was to send flowers, friendship cards,and have yoga sessions together.

BTW-- the US DID have a missile, that had a MARV warhead(meaning one that is terminally guided, AFTER separation and reentry, to the target). It was the Pershing II, and the CEP (or accuracy ratio) was less than 100 FEET!! A 50kt. warhead, a 100 ft. accuracy ratio, and 1,000 mile range, made it pretty formidable!! It was scrapped, as a result of the 1987 INF treaty.
