I'm talking to a person two days long through a message forum, ive got a picture of that person, sitting behind a computer, as a computer programmer, i thought that person was a 'he' and then all of sudden it turns out to be a 'she', this is so so so embarrasing for me, for my imagination, for my whole being!

Ha-ha, I noticed earlier that you said "his name" in a subject line referring to famous this morning, and I thought, "uh-oh; I wonder how this is going to go down..." But go easy on yourself; I didn't catch onto the fact that famous has a pair of X chromosomes until one or two days ago, myself. I bet there are others out there who *still* haven't learned.

This whole "female presence on RinkWorks" thing has really started to be an issue over the last week or two. To avoid confusion, maybe we should get Sam to stick a button on the "Post New Message" page, for use by our female posters. The button would automatically attach an explanatory note of some sort to the beginning of the post:

*****ALERT!!!!!*****
THE FOLLOWING POST IS BY A FEMALE RINKWORKS READER!!! APPROPRIATE REPLIES WILL CONTAIN THE TERMS "SHE", "HER", "HERS", AND "MEN ARE MORONS"!!!

Iss "it could work!" achar
