My nom de plume is an homage to my grandfather, and I chose a non-gendered moniker because way back when it was harder for women to be left alone to simply participate in forums. Now no one here would know who I am if I changed to my real name. Gender shouldn't matter in a conversation.

Please stop changing people's names and calling people names. Use the acknowledged abbreviations - SRS, JtS, etc. but let's stop the thumb in the eye insults. Thank you.
