Thank you Mark. I get this list in digest form so, having clicked on the 
link to the article and seeing that the author was "Ricky Erway" before 
reading all the succeeding messages,  I was bemused to see all the 
references to "Rick", "Mr. Erway" and "him/his" throughout.  Maybe the 
problem is that references to humans in all our communications fail to 
be accompanied by sufficient metadata to avoid the confusion that 
results from the presumption that anything interesting, provocative or 
well written must have come from a man.  ;-)
