While I can see both sides of the question...knowing and not knowing, I don't believe that this forum is such that one needs "the upper hand" in discussons. I see this forum as a place to learn more about TV, the contractors, the goings on, etc. The gender of the poster is probably not necessary for that kind of communication. If this were a more debate orientated dicussion type forum, then having as much info about the other posters may provide an additional edge to some folks.
With that said, I beleive that the poster who asked the original questipn was just coming from an "it'd be nice to know" point of view, and nothing else. In most cases, when you meet someone in person, you know their gender, online friends, not so much.
