As I said in that post, I always thought you were a guy until someone posted that note about you as "she". That was the first time it ever came in question. I don't remember offhand who it was that said you were female via PM. I cleared out my PM history long ago and don't regularly use it. The thing is, even after it was "confirmed" I still acted as though you were a guy just because I had no reason from you to not do so. I think most other people acted the same way for the most part... just kept working under their original assumptions.

Language doesn't mean crap when it comes to trying to figure out a person's gender via username. Could you figure out Bossk or my outside username, kapgar, and determine my gender with either of those? No. I just remembered that you said in the thread "where we got our usernames" (or whatever it was called) that your name came from your real name. I used that to determine that your first name was likely "Ricardo". I speak Spanish and I know that once you know one romance language, it's not that difficult to figure out what is being said in similar romance languages like Italian, Portuguese, and French. The method is not 100% by any means, but it still works enough to get by. So I operated under the assumption that you were a guy named Ricardo. Seemed to work for me... and, apparently, for you too.
