I thought for the longest time VPL was a woman, that expounded on the virtues of eating correctly.
I even lost a bet, and had to buy someone dinner.
It doesn't make a difference to me, but on certain subjects, it would be nice to know, as some poster are a little rougher, when they think they are talking to a man. I cam only imagine the political forum, in it's heyday.
It was meant to be a fun post, so everyone doesn't need to get their knickers, in a knot.
Maybe if everyone posted their picture, one might not have to remain anonymous. I have run into several people who recognize my picture and have responded appropriately. My viewpoint is some people want to remain anonymous, so they can be difficult in their posting views.
