M, I did not claim to be a lone crusader. I have noticed since the mid 90s when I started posting on Usenet that men oft _attack_ women posters. Some women capitulate, opt out or use pseudonyms to avoid abuse.

Being at the right place & time in 1984 to detect an insidious flaw in Lane County juror selection & following up influencing an essential change in the selection system was a feather in my cap. 

If I had not walked up to the clerk to volunteer to be in a pool of self selected jurors EXACTLY when I did observing 2 gray haired gals on both sides and if I had not grokked something wrong, more could have been denied a jury of their peers.

A neutral lottery system supposedly kicked in ONLY IF not enough volunteers opted in for a month! Fate had it that I was able to expose the manipulation..

It chagrined me that a class action suit could have been filed by ALL found guilty who were then jailed losing families, respect, jobs..even lives. Lawsuits may have bankrupted Lane County.
