OK, I did a bit more research. I think we have a bit of a misunderstanding,
here.

The $2 parameter for this message is not a user name, it's actually an <input
type="text" /> for the name of the person uploading the file. That input could
have anything in it, up to and including absolutely nothing, so it's impossible
to genderize it. Besides, the parameter is thrown for a loop when $2 = "<input
type="text" value="kjasdf" />" and so on. There would be no way to genderize
without dynamically changing the message on every keystroke--which gets into
performance problems, possibly causing missed keystrokes.

Does that make sense? Is there a way to do this that I'm missing?
