not begin to encompass the complexities of these appliances (and

Keitel, your e-mail is itself a good example of bias. The women you
know who spend two hours every morning with a straightening iron and a
blowdryer need to find a good hairdresser. The cut is everything. :-)
Seriously, it's kind of disturbing to see that women should be editing
[[Blowdryer]] while the men get to grips with [[Arab-Israeli
conflict]].

Or some self-esteem. :] I don't think women /should/ be editing
[[Blowdryer]], just that even I who cares nothing for such products
could easily list a few manufacturers and the people I know who
actually use them could supply so much more information.
Additionally, those who have them could add pictures that aren't from
a few decades ago. :] It probably wasn't the best example ever, but I
remembered being pissed about [[Conair Corporation]] not existing
some time ago...
