Don't start that again!

Here is the reason people have taken offense or find your post funny... You say that when you see a GOOD article from a woman, you indicate your are surprised (or perhaps your intention was to indicate that you want to be encouraging, but the "OMG" makes it seem like you are surprised). As there are fewer female programmers than male, it would be fine to be excited when you come across an article written by a woman (as this would be somewhat rare, given the scarce number of female programmers). It would also be fine to be excited to see a good article (those can be rare too). However, your post comes across as implying that you are surprised to see a GOOD article from a WOMAN. It sort of implies that you expect a woman cannot write a good article, presumably because you think women are somehow less capable (than men) of making an article that is good. I'm sure that is not the case that you think that, but I thought I'd let you know why you didn't get the reaction you were looking for. Some people find it offensive that you would have such a poor opinion of women and others probably think it's funny because your apparently lack of English mastery or perhaps a cultural difference is the cause of this mistaken interpretation.

Those work about as well as RAC. Maybe CP should offer a dating service. Hmmm. ;P

If you can't meet women on your own, you can always rent them for a few minutes (although, they will still charge you for the full hour).

Yes, but the expertise lies in completing a job to the customers satisfaction within budget and with the given time frame. It is the unltimate in efficiency performance.

If you have a suggestion please use the Site bugs / Suggestions forum. :)

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it. My latest tip/trick - Silverlight *.XCP files. Visit the Hindi forum here.

The given time frame is an hour, but given the implied insignificance of task at hand (wink wink nudge nudge), the task will be completed in around 30 seconds, and the rest of the hour will probably be spent in idle chit chat, with the woman only pretending to be interested, glancing repeatedly at her watch to see if the hour in hell is over yet.

Nope, I simply took it as an opportunity for an exercise in what I consider humour. Your intent has no bearing on it.
