Why are you getting so defensive about the he/she thing..It was not a mistake, I wrote it exactly as I meant it.
In fact, I believe it was more polite than just assuming you were a guy! I know i could have checked your profile... but I wanted to post the message quickly and therefore left the pronoun vague.
I agree I could have quoted you by ur MR name, but that is not a rule in this forum is it? So I'm sorry if I offended you that badly! "He/She" was not used in a way to be demeaning.
I'm not a mind reader and did not want to go by the assumption that "man" in your MR name is referring to your gender and not a nickname of some sort.
Either way, the rude reply was not a friendly one! Even though you did pass on the tank
