Huh? This is getting silly. I was merely observing that the gender of an individual who posts under an assumed name on an internet bulletin board is a valid item to question. Perhaps that's a childish observation. Or perhaps the packaging wasn't as dry and droll as the adults here have come to expect when discussing such serious subject. As for having to tell me to grow up? Please don't. IMHO there are way too many adults on this board who know way too much about what other people are thinking and way too much about how the world works and who take things and themselves way too seriously. I find myself amongst them sometimes, unfortunately. Could we use few kids with a few childlike questions willing to ask "why" a lot more? Is it useful to question why things have to be that way out then just because that's the way they are today? Why should we tolerate those who ask piercing questions 'till we're sick of 'em? Might that do wonders to some of the thought processes around here? I hope I never grow up. John
