Gender Ambiguous Given Names
By Mark Williamson

D. L. Bullock wrote in wrote in 020704 MMDigest, "For decades
I got mail addressed to Ms. Lynn ...", and Jody commented,
"Nonetheless, all junk mail I get, and much computer generated
mail from origins that should know better, is addressed to me
as Ms.  I'm a guy."

That's nothing.  I remember a friend of mine receiving something
in the mail addressed to "Mr Annette Hill"!  Go figure...

Mr (or more correctly, "Cadet") Mark A. Williamson
Sydney, Australia  (but currently on holiday in New Zealand)
