I didn't realize anyone here based their response upon what could be perceived about the OP's sex from their handle. Just wondering, but could you provide a few examples? It's not that I don't believe you but I just can't recall any particular threads that would cause you to come to this conclusion. This just seems to be coming from left field.

The way I respond is usually based upon how I'm feeling at the time. I normally read the post, not the name. If it warrants a reply, I do so. That's why I'm here. Of course, as of late I haven't responded much at all. I dunno, I think I'm getting old. (if you can even be called that at 22)
