Yup, I was counting your groups among the ones I've heard good things 
about, but keep my distance from for purely geographic reasons.  (Mike 
lives around 1600 miles from Phoenyx World Headquarters.)

I can't really explain what it's been about local female roleplayers that 
has variously annoyed me or creeped me out.  It's also, now that I start 
thinking of specific examples, also been a lot of years since I was 
involved in the broader roleplaying scene... in fact, most of it was while 
I was single, which I think changes the dynamics quite a bit.
