Thanks Clytie, this is a very neatly collated-list of the basic problems 
 that most of us face in countries where women are new to the 
tech-world and thats the reason we tend to yearn for forums where we are 
not made to look silly and can be comparitively comfortable. Same goes 
for newbies.

Forums like DW or GW  stretch beyond geographical boundaries and can 
perhaps help set the precedent for the other existing or new forums like 
regional lugs etc. :)
