I think Bill D. had a great idea inre. to identifying the sex of a poster. If your name is Gwendolyn, for the most part, we can safely assume female. Don't know too many females named Johnathon or Arnold.

Mickey was given to me around age 2 and no one calls me Margaret Mary. That nickname has caused confusion here. Mickey191-f might help to unconfuse the confused.
