Dear P b A,
Interesting discussion up above.
I did find it weird once when I realized a poster thought I was a guy. Poster was very kind about it and did give me a long, detailed, non-insulting explanation for the mistake. (Including fact I am sarcastic. Funny- I never knew men have monopoly on sarcasm.)
Do you think posters should be required to identify themselves as male / female?
Or not?
(We can already tell which posters are, shall we say, below a certain age, so that’s not as much of an issue. And if the Mods want they can keep all males over 11 out of the interminable sem threads.)
