106. OOoops. I think I thought the same thing! I don't know why assign gender on DU but I do.

I'm always getting surprised by finding out that someone I've followed for a while is not the sex I thought they were.

So malaise, even though I thought you were a guy, you are one of my favorite DUers. Your Original Posts are always interesting but what you are amazing at is drawing out a conversation through the comments on other people's posts. I can't tell you how many times I have recced a post NOT because of the OP but because of the information shared in the conversations running through the comment sections. And I've noticed many times that it is you drawing people out, questioning, making DU a real conversation instead of one-sided postings.

You are a great addition to this site. :0)
