Nope, but I did appreciate his posting.  Several of us have had similar 
thoughts re the identity of CW.

In an earlier post CW writes:

An interesting observation.  I wonder how (other than the names on 
the postings) CW would have discovered this--it has not been a topic 
in the magazine or here for a *long* time--and computer lists are 
largely male even for groups which are *balanced*.  It is also 
interesting that CW does not *say* she is female. (Comments CW?) 

It seems fairly likely to me that CW is either a pseudo for a regular 
poster, or was coached by a regular on how to use cryonet. 

I have two questions.  Did any of you coach CW?  And, do any of you 
have direct correspondence from CW?  I am trying to clear up this 
mystery, and would appreciate copies.  The content is not too 
important, so if you are embarrassed or something, just send me the 
headers.

PS I wonder about the ethics of misrepresentation.  And, if by some 
wild chance CW turns out to be real and not a pseudo for some regular, 
I will be the first to apologize.
