Let's not pick on "fellow" in this sense as sexist; it's an Old English
phrase that originally meant "those who work the fields together"
(actually "those who spread manure together" but I don't want to be
crude). Manuscripts from the time show references to women or to
mixed-sex groups as often as to men. (In fact, given social realities,
the comrades helping in the fields were probably women more often
than not.)
Even today the majority of uses of the word carry connotations of
"comradeship among equals." True, it can refer to men only, as when
you refer to "a girl's fellow" (regional) or "a vulgar fellow".
However, in parts of the country you will hear women referring to
"going out with the fellows" when they mean an all-female group.
My only reservation about "fellow noters" is that I don't think
the noters I know deserve to be associated with fertilizing the
fields!

| a *very* rough translation, please feel free to improve on this!
[I bracketed the words I cannot translate without a dictionary.]
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Perhaps I will be able to come...to swim...I will be with first
woman to make the transatlantic [en brasse?] by myself.
I think I will practice swimming every night -- in my [baignoire?].
Why is it so far, America?

| 303.16 | A CHANGE: I won't be there. | HEADS::OSBORN | Sally's VAXNotes Vanity Plate | Wed May 13 1987 10:41 | 10 |
| I WAS leading the VAX Notes Session #4 Tuesday morning, but,
became ill and left session #4 early and abruptly and am spending
Wed at home!
Do stop in to see Kristy Gleason, Audrey Schneider, Vic
Hamburger, and Alfred Thompson (to name just a few) who are
handling the crush of users interested in test-driving VAX Notes
in the Liberty Room.
