I'm not on my high horse.

No, you ass-u-me'd I did.
Go re-read it.

That wasn't my point.
My point was that I don't know too many primadonna, near-psycho, childish adults like the one you mentioned.
Furthermore, I consider using celebrity actresses to be very simpleminded and of poor form.
Which was my point entirely, many geek women I've know will as well.

Again, you are yet again ass-u-ne'ing things.
When did I make that suggestion?
Re-read my original post in its _entirity_!
> Are you trying to say that all Linux-using

Are you trying to say people who don't look like Ms. Jolie do not?
That's the problem right there!
And that's before we even consider the social aspects of her.
I could suggest far more attractive, beautiful, charming and, most importantly, technically savvy women.
Again, broaden your horizons and do your homework.
Ms. Jolie? Com'mon!

I know, it's readily apparent.

Learn to realize where the problem starts.
Or you can assume I'm on my "high-horse."
