Hey, I'm female, and I'm a happy stackexchange user.  Wait, stackexchange
doesn't know that!  Why?  Because the vast majority of stackexchange users
*aren't logged in* and might not even know they're on stackexchange.  They
just googled something, and stackexchange came up as the best possible 
answer on google.  That happens everyday.

I think stackexchange might be counting its users who provide answers
rather than the huge anonymous crowd of people stopping briefly by to
*benefit* from those answers.  We would be attracting passers-by, not
just heavy users.

I support the stackexchange proposal.  There is no barrier to entry, unlike
the mailing list, but it will help casual browsers become more knowledgable
about our community and *find out* about the mailing list.

Now to go get a login so I can literally support it...
