I used to use plain "Jacque" in my signature, and everyone thought I
was
a man, which is the primary reason I changed it to "Jacqueline". This
was way back in the days of bulletin boards, before the web was
invented, and it was interesting to see how people's responses changed
when they found out I was female. At the time, women programmers were
almost unheard of. I let them think I was male for almost a year
before
I dropped the bomb. The double-takes were amusing.
Deliciously evil!
"Jacque" Cousteau must be spinning in her grave. :-)
