I admit that after a long while, it's only now that I cared to read
the Netiquette Guide written by Pablo M. It taught me to be more
careful with my mails to the list.

Anyway, I'd like to point Pablo's attention to that sentence that
says, "Besides your reader gets irritated when he is forced to go
through a lot of garbage that you force on him." No offense meant, but
can we rewrite that sentence to make it gender-sensitive? Of course,
we do not mean that "your reader" is none but a male person. But, to
be more gender-aware, can we instead use "s/he" or "he or she" and
"him/her"? Others might push for gender-affirmation by suggesting use
of "she" and "her" all along. But that's for the writer to decide.
