"Are there any women who contribute to Mudcat?"

There are, although many seem to have fled or passed away. Some of the most vitriolic and vituperative arguments I can recall on this forum have been between women - Lizzie Cornish, Ruth Archer, and the now departed Diane Easby (formerly Countess Richard) spring immediately to mind. And they tended to be 'Above The Line' too, rather than in the BS section. Their shenanigans would make the antics of our current crop of mutton-head Usual Suspects look like a Sunday-School tea-party.

Wonder what happened to LC and RA?
