Having just now read through a long paragraph on ANI of a user
saying he or she and him or her about an editor, I say, for less
complexities sake, let's do it. See what happens. <br>

Kaldari says he's been called "she" a number of times! :) <br>

Recently two users I thought were he's turned out to be she's.
And then<br>
I identified a user with a neutral sounding name as a he -
though<br>
looking again at name, probably is a she.<br>
<br>
Then it occurred to me, why assume they are male anyway?<br>
<br>
Why not call all neutral user names she from now on?<br>
<br>
He is part of she.<br>
Male is part of female.<br>
Man is part of woman.<br>
<br>
Hmmm... how much "trouble" will I get in if I do it??<br>
