Having someone present technical informations with porn content cannot
be qualified as "prevalent in our industry". I would even dare to say
this is the opposite, it is almost unique.
I would also add that Robert was very far from this attitude, I consider
his joke as a friendly tickle, not a male chauvinist aggression. I'm no
women, but I'm sure they are as capable as me, not to say more, of
making the distinction.
It has been said this list is not very friendly to newbies, let's not
make it hostile to gentle jokes (even those not funny) when thanking
helpers.
