Oh. I should mention that I'm straight. I know that's counter-

Not that there's anything wrong with that..... :)

No. It was interesting to notice that you were male, though. I
wasn't sure, and phrased my comments very carefully to avoid
making assumptions.

Oh. I have to post a small puff for myself. I was playing LotRO
this evening, and someone asked an honest question on the /advice
channel, and someone else gave him a snotty answer. So I pointed
out that it was a perfectly legitimate question, and provided the
legitimate answer. Then the questioner and I chatted for a bit
in private /tell, and she said she was used to snarky remarks
like that, it was the Internet.

And I elaborated on the old quotation: "On the Internet nobody
knows you're a dog ... until you bite somebody."

Forget where I saw this:

"On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog. But they know you're a
son of a bitch."
