Heh, I used to refer to a hypothethical user in my writing as a
female and a male on alternate days (Tuesdays and Thursdays were
male day).  It quickly got confusing when I had to compose my reply
on an even day to a response to my earlier message that was written
on an odd day, and I had to abandon the practice ;-)
