Your surprise takes me back, smiling, to the early days of internet. Swami Atmarupananda and I were hosting a forum on GEnie. It was quite lively. One day Swami referred to me as "she". One poster appeared so 'upset' to learn that that the other posters took him to task for being "prejudiced". He was not really. Just surprised. I emailed him privately and told him not to worry. I was not at all offended, as he was immediately sorry for his "outburst". I was enjoying the play in quiet amusement, I assured him. As I had been born disabld by cerebral palsy "way back when", it was the first time I had experienced "gender discrimination" because my disability had become "invisible."
Thank you for that memory, Anthony.
Tom, you are right, the internet has come along way. I'll work on your suggestions.
Anthony, I must say that it never crossed my mind that Sister Jayanti could be anything but a 'she', especially after first seeing the 'delicate feminine touch', in the choice of design, for her long-standing website, way back in the early days of the Internet. Although, I have, in other cases, made the same erroneous assumptions before...:)

Well thanks for clearing that one up ! Funny how the mind gets an idea and believes it..Ofcourse I should have realised that you would have cleared it up yourself in any case.
And yes, NWA, now you mention the feminine touch, which is as it should be, ofcourse!
