Jack,

Funny thing - about a third of the people that attended the first
Canberra GGD did so because I (a bloke) saw Lana's announcement on the
CLUG list and let them know about it. Former partner (who shall remain
nameless) thought it would be better served as a GG-only event and
told me that she would prefer it if I didn't come. I didn't. A couple
of women that I spoke to afterwards said that they'd have had a better
time if it wasn't for a couple of loudly opinionated men. So perhaps
nameless former partner was right.

Regardless, it does fit your scenario above.

Best regards, Andrew
