Re: [DL] courtesy and assumptions

["William Ogden" <w_ogden@hotmail.com>]

I'm sorry, but since most gamers are male, it seems reasonable to refer to 
someone as "this guy" or whatever, in the absence of any evidence to the 
contrary.  I for one am not going to go around writing "this 
person/being/entity" in an effort to be PC

If it bugs you that much, you could put your first name in there between 
Marshal and Brock.  (although this will only help newcomers to the list)
