I DON'T CARE HOW YOU TREAT GENDER IN YOUR WRITING. DO WHATEVER WORKS FOR
YOU AND LEAVE THE REST OF US OUT OF YOUR INTERMINABLE ARGUMENTS. You're not
going to change anybody's mind on this subject on this net anyway.....

We now return to our previously scheduled flame.

Sorry for the all caps. I just keep double-clicking on messages from
TECHWR-L, hoping there will be something of value.

Isn't a genderless noun more exclusive than the interchangeable
generic "he" and "she?" Since every human is of one gender or
another, doesn't a genderless noun fail to include anyone?
