I thanked you for your very generous comment. You didn't peg me for a she, that's why I mentioned it. Unless you wonder if I take it as a compliment to be mistaken for a man? :) No, I'm neutral on that score.

No need to apologize. Almost everybody online mistakes me for a "he" (perhaps because I'm so combative). After years of confusion I wonder if I should quit pointing out that I'm a woman and accept that to the internet, I'm trans.
