pure idiocy. 

I think ppl who responded thus far have missed the point of "MS" -- who cares if women 
are married, single etc -- ms is simply equivalent to 'MR"
you dont ask a man if he's married, why ask a woman???? who cares; use MS  

that said,  let me add that I am female. I use only the name "alex" on list (short for 
alexandra of course) bc most ppl assume i am male. 
I have found on tech type lists that men tend to be respected more for their opinions, 
etc
a sad fact of the world that in order to avoid the kind of misogynist racist attacks 
seen above (or at least avoid them directed at myself), i need to post with a 
non-gendered email name.

Of course i also figured out a long time ago i have to be good at letting the shit 
that is said on list slide off....
