Heh. Eve once said she thought I was a big, red-neck lookin’ guy… like a human version of Foghorn Leghorn. I’m a small blonde middle-aged chick. ---

People often guess wrong with me, but like **Dung Beetle** , I tried to pick a name that would be sort of neutral if I wanted it to be. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by KidCharlemagne \* > \*\*I’m guessing male **Elret** \*\* Nope. But that’s what most people think. And the funny thing is that the name is a combination of my dog’s name and my old cat’s name, both of which (when they’re alone) are obviously feminine. ---

The scary part is that he was only _virtually_ sure! There remained a grain of doubt. ---

Well, when you get right down to it I guess I have to say I’m only “virtually sure” myself, what with all the gender confusion available today. My body is that of a male, my sexual persuasion is predominantly heterosexual, but I do like an occasional backrub. ---

I’m male and straight. My username doesn’t make any clear indication of this, but some people have determined this from the context of my posts. ---

I’m alway a bit startled when I suddeny realize a poster’s gender. And I usually forget it again. Your theory on the uppercase/lowercase isn’t holding up. I started going lower-case originally years ago when log-ins were case sensitive. I REALLY ---
