I just remembered this: years ago I worked for Digital. DEC had their own “notesfiles” (kind of a precursor to forums), and one topic was music. I got to chatting with a guy named Al who was a HUGE Aerosmith fan; he lived in NM and envied me living in New England…“’Smith Country”. We developed a great friendship, and got to talking about other topics. One time I typed something about “…my husband and I…” His next note was short: “YOU’RE A GIRL???” You see, I always signed my name as K.C. I wasn’t purposely being vague.
