I was just needling you in a light-hearted manner. As this is an international list, who knows what sensibilities might be aroused by this or that term in reference to this or that gender and its eventual mutual exclusivity. As far as here goes, in mixed company, the masculine form takes precedence (which may or may not have anything to do with anything). -- Hypertext--or should I say the ideology of hypertext?--is ultrademocratic and so entirely in harmony with the demagogic appeals to cultural democracy that accompany (and distract one’s attention from) the ever-tightening grip of plutocratic capitalism. - Susan Sontag
