Dear Cathy Hall and M.O. members,
My comment concerning the word 'brethren' was designed for humour; sorry
if it appeared to be sarcastic. I guess my note was somewhat ambiguous also.
I wasn't trying to find out if M.O. had female members, that is axiomatic.
The question was about the word 'brethren' and whether it's definition
included females or not.
