One million 'pages' are being requested a month. Ordinary' people too, purchased a modem and went online. The digital population has a long way to go before being a true representation of the public at large. There are still far too few women, senior citizens and miority groups. A newsgroup that was set up especially for women was invaded in no time by men.
Women are anyway something of a rarity in the virtual community.
The rot is in the education system. We Are No Moralists Stikker did not feel like interfering when the women's newsgroup became a male territory. It's up to the people in the newsgroups to decide what they want, we do not interfere. Well, sometimes you see things get out of hand, like with the rightist who went on for weeks ranting about foreigners. In real life, this would have resulted in fistfights for sure.
