I am prompted to post this message because of an amusing recent thread which mainly centred round Sinter's gender. A few threads earlier than that one included the common situation of Mic having to point out to a poster that "thanks man" was not an appropriate response to give in HER case. I have been intrigued for some time why you, Mic, use that name when new forumites, or at least English speaking native forumites, are inevitably going to assume you are a HE with a name like that. Don't you get sick of correcting people? What are you prepared to tell us about your use of "Mic"? If it is your real name, fair enough, maybe the question should then be addressed to your parents?! If it is some special forum name, then I would be interested to know what the story is. Sorry if this is seen to be intrusive, but I am a curious person.
