After a gaffe like that ...

It's inevitable that we will get people's gender wrong as we have no way of knowing from the personal biogs (I'll just nip off and check that) - perhaps we should have a line which says "preferred personal pronoun". In RhubarbCommando's case we would need to include the option "it". I wonder if we really do add or subtract fromthe board by not knowing - perhaps we should wander over to poster sex if we want to continue this discussion.
