RE: Gender neutral - any new developments in your neck of the woods?

["Dick Margulis " <margulis -at- mail -dot- fiam -dot- net>]

Well, excuuuuuz me, David, but there are those among us who strongly object to the killing of birds with stones--or by any other means, for that matter. What has any bird ever done to you to justify your speciesist hubris? What makes you think you can just tromp all over the planet, willy-nilly, plonking birds just because you got up on the wrong side of the bed or something? Sheesh!
