Ehmm, so do Greta Christina, The Atheist Experience crew, and Ophelia Benson, all of which I have much respect for. Not sure where you are going with this comment.
Sorry, let me explain a bit more.
My point was that this was an online poll to find the most influential female atheist of 2011. It's an online poll, so it's accessible to practically everyone. It's on the same site that PZ Myers blogs from, so it's not exactly out of the way, and yet she only managed to get a measly 233 votes? I'm sorry, but if the title of "most influential female atheist" can be won in a community of hundreds of thousands of people with 233 votes, it's hardly a great achievement.
Heck, half the active community here could have easily swung the vote to someone completely different, and we're tiny in comparison to some other atheist communities online (especially freethought blogs).
