i am a female and have been following OB and LW for about 3 months in googlereader, really liking it, although i never comment (how can i improve on elezier’s genius?). may not matter, but i do work in IT. at any rate, i was compelled to register with this site since i wonder if the LW “group” doesn’t contain more females than we think. Is the definition of a “member” anyone who consistently reads this blog, regardless of registration status, or anyone who has taken the extra 15 seconds to register, or those registered members who end up posting comments and/or posts? also haven’t given this too deep of an analysis, but on the day the gender question came up, that morning i commented to a male friend of mine that i don’t know how everyone can keep up this manic pace of reading & writing. it’s a lot to take in. i love both sites, though, and i do feel like i’m smarter and think better for it.
