      Looks like you were right, Nish. If this person was genuine, they wouldn't leave just because someone suggested otherwise. The nature of the post seemed to accept that it was uncommon for females to post here, and the picture does indeed look like it's of a model. Either that, or we just lost one hot chick :-) Christian The tragedy of cyberspace - that so much can travel so far, and yet mean so little.

          I am a same female person who posted her first message yesterday. Some people have made lot of fun for it. I don't know why. But here is the clarification: I am a truly female and whatever i worte yesterday was 100% accurate. A guy whose CP id is "tili" was the first to said that I am a liar and my name is "Imran Farooqui". Thats some thing stupid. I don't know who is "tili" and who is "Imran Farooqui" I didn't reply my previous thread as it was a night time in my country and i was sleeping. Another guy name Nish said that in karachi there can't be such a company having so large number of female members. I think that he reserved no right saying that, as he seems to be not visited Karachi which is a city of around 15 million people. Any ways i am deeply disappointed and never like to post again. So, bye for ever. Saima Ali

              Yes, I remember that. The person who made the claim obviously didn't take into account how often I post, because if I *was* you, I'd never leave the house, and I certainly wouldn't get any work done....

                LOL Imran. Imran, I dont think she is a she :-) I am not saying this cause someone said she was you. That's not the point at all. The point is his post was too artificial :-) And relax. Nobody thinks you are the imposter. But almost all of us know he is an imposter [whoever that is]. :-) Nish

                Nish, i found no reason that she stated something wrong. I am 70% sure that she is a female. In the last two years software industry has grown by leaps and bound in this part of the world. So there are many female developers around. Here in Karachi there are large number of Software Houses havin many female workers. And i think she may works in big company like this one. Imran Farooqui

                              Hmmmm thats strange that you've never heard about karachi. Karachi is the largest city of Pakistan and the main commercial and industrial centre of the country. It is a only seaport of Pakistan and most of the commercaial activities of country are engaged here. Pakistan advertizing/ fashion industry is here and most of the country's prominent magazines originates here. It is a thickly populated city and so crime rates are high. USA declared this city as worst for its citizens. Saima Ali

                                Pretending women can't code would be stupid, IMHO. However, it seems girls are less interested than boys by computer sciences, at least for the moment. For example, we are here 6 developpers, one is a woman. At school, the proportion in computer sections was also one woman for five men. In mechanical sections, the proportion felt to one for fifteen, and in chemical sections the proportion was five to one. ------------------------------------ Ash to ash, and clay to clay, If the enemy doesn't get you Your own folk may ------------------------------------

                                  You are right. We are 12 developers, one is a woman (me). But this is not a good reason to think that if a woman writes a post perhaps she is not a she but a he. Last Christmas we had a dinner for all the people that work here : 14 men and 1 woman (me). But this wasn't a goor reason not to go with my collegue, even if it was quite funny ....

MarSCoZa, I haven't done any polls or checks so I could be wrong. From memory the only ones to have popped up and posted here and told us they were female or have female names are - Lauren Cathy Qomi ???? (Nish's co-worker, can't remember her name) Samantha and now you. Out of interest is MarSCoZa your name, nickname or a pseudonym? Michael Martin Australia mjm68@tpg.com.au "Don't belong. Never join.

                                        It's a pseudonym that consists of 2 parts: (1) the MarS is made up of the first 3 letters of my first name, and the first letter of my second name (hence the capital "S"), and (2) the CoZa indicates that I'm from South Africa (South African URLs end in ".co.za")

                                          I am a same female person who posted her first message yesterday. Some people have made lot of fun for it. I don't know why. But here is the clarification: I am a truly female and whatever i worte yesterday was 100% accurate. A guy whose CP id is "tili" was the first to said that I am a liar and my name is "Imran Farooqui". Thats some thing stupid. I don't know who is "tili" and who is "Imran Farooqui" I didn't reply my previous thread as it was a night time in my country and i was sleeping. Another guy name Nish said that in karachi there can't be such a company having so large number of female members. I think that he reserved no right saying that, as he seems to be not visited Karachi which is a city of around 15 million people. Any ways i am deeply disappointed and never like to post again. So, bye for ever. Saima Ali

                                          CodeProject is a site that helps developers do their jobs a little better by providing a collection of code samples, tutorials and advice. If you're here to better yourself as a developer why would care about a few people that don't think you are who you state you are? Cheers, Tom Archer Author, Inside C# Best mini-putt score = 22
