Having a quiet day there Kermie? You could have also done the lowest number and possibly found me.  |

WOW. I thought I spent too much time here. I'm still a couple of hundred posts outside of the top 20! |

In my college days, there was a Verbosity Book, to which I contributed copiously. I can't compete nowadays. |

How does Roger do it? 2000+ posts! Where does he find the time? Glenski contributes to many forums too. |

Dear Capergirl,
"I'm the top female poster? Cool! "
Ah, but are you? Who can say for sure? In the wonderful world of cyberspace, gender can be so easily disguised.
Regards,
John (or is it, perhaps, Joan?) |

Dear JaneSlat,
Confusion reigns beyond just the nebulous edges of cyberspace. When I got back from Asia, one of the first things I noticed was that the voices of the Guys sounded suspiciously like the voices of the Women, and vice versa. Note to self: Was it something in the tapwater? Or was it something to do with the influence of graduate school? Even my engineering friend has turned into a PC softie, though fortunately he still resembles a man.
Note to others: no, let's not restart the sex war thread; really not my intention, honest. But I am curious about this weird phenom. is it just me? |

Dear dmb and khmerhit,
Mama mia - what have I done? OK, first off - yes, I AM a man (just checked, to make sure), although one time Saudia DID make out my ticket for a "Jane Flat. . . .". I had to explain to the Saudi ticket agent just why this might cause some problems at Customs:
Agent: But only small mistake; just some letters.
Me: Ah, actually it's a sex change operation. What if the name on YOUR ticket were Fatima Al Qahtani?
However, it IS a fact that gender (and a lot of other things) can be disguised in cyberspace. I rather doubt there's much, if any, of that going on here on Dave's (hmm, is Dave REALLY a guy?), so in your case, khmerhit, I'd stop drinking the tap water. Besides, I'm not so sure one can reliably identify a person's gender simply from reading his/her postings. Guess we'll all just have to take it on faith.
Regards,
John (NOT Jane) |

Just out of interset John( not Jane-yeah right who are you trying to convince?-Joan) How did you check to make sure? Is there a step by step process to find out if you are a John or a Jane?
Words will suffice. No need to submit photographic evidence. Not to me anyway. But you never know who is lurking |

Dear dmb,
Well, if you need to be told how one checks to make sure of his/her gender, I think it might be time for a long talk with your Dad. Just tell him you want to discuss the birds and the bees. Only 2 steps are required, however:
1. Lower trousers and undergarments
2. Look down
Regards,
Assuredly John |
