I don't know how smart she is, but she's smarter than I am. And most folks (outside PARF) think I'm smart, believe it or not.

I think some guys are going to get their asses kicked. Do not underestimate women.

Agreed. I think one of the areas in which women excel is in the organization of many interwoven, complex operations. Conversely, some of the best engineers I ever worked with are also some of the most scattered, disorganized people I have ever met.
And no, I'm sorry, Supe - you are not nearly as smart as you think you are. You have clearly spent too much time hanging out with me, which is a sure fired way to make just about anyone feel smarter...
