As for the question of Abigail's gender, it would be answered one way by meeting him in person, and another way by meeting her on the internet.

(I wonder if he speaks of her in the third person, when speaking to you face to face?)

At any rate, I certainly agree with you that it's worth while to look for and to study her JAPH contributions and other coding ideas. I had hoped to talk to him about them here, but alas...she's gone (now I'm confused).

    Another way to answer that question would be to check his/hers geekcode. After a quick look trought the geekcode I found "x?". So the question is answered, Abigail is a she.

      That much, everyone knows. But the real question still remains. What gender is the person who writes as Abigail?
