>I doubt I could care less about it. There are words and connotations that are so ingrained that to conceptualise them in terms of gender seems meaningless. "Man kind" to me is the same as "human kind", only simpler to say and type. Or perhaps we can't even use the word "Human" anymore. Maybe we have to go with "Huperson" now. It just starts to get really stupid as far as I'm concerned. And for what? To appease a few unbelievable thin skinned persons with too much time on their hands?

Weeelllll Mr. Popow. Is this really you? When did you become so reasonable? :)
