Thanks leeneia; my pleasure.

Although nobody on Mudcat has seen the primary distinguishing marks of my sex, several (including JennieG and Sandra) have observed most of the secondary ones. The beard is a bit of a giveaway, as is the baritone.

And to add a bit of info about pronunciation of Scottish names, I grew up pronouncing my name with the 1st syllable as in "row your boat" (as well as wondering why I had been given such a Scottish name; nobody in my family had any knowledge of Scottish connections) and it wasn't until I met Alistair Anderson that I found out the Scots pronounced the 1st syllable as in "one unholy row".

Cheers, Rowan
