:D Rocks your brain when you first find out something like that, doesn't it. I knew she was a girlie, but for years I thought Tolkien Purist was a boy, and that Yovargas was a girl. Hadn't seen pictures, you see.

Rocked my brain when I found out, and then I felt a wee bit silly.

Brian, lovely photos. Made me :D to see Shippey surrounded on all sides!

I'm 10 minutes away from Swarthmore almost everyday.

You get used to it.

PS

As Elentari reported on HoF, there is a report on TORN about the talks:

Well you were around 85% accurate.
In my view, this is both inappropriate and not very entertaining. Please refrain from making jokes about my gender in future.

tp got to a first but I was going to make a similar comment. I'm sure no harm was intended and you were just trying to make a silly joke but I am not one who thinks that the "it's just a joke" excuse it gets people off the hook for whatever they say. In short, I am 100% male and quite sure tp is 100% female and quite genuinely resent implications otherwise. Whether in joke or not, I do not appreciate the reinforcement of that particular attitude.

Duly deleted. Just good-natured joshing of sexuality between friends with no intention of belittling anyone. You know me better than that.
