Well, you know JB,
I equate being in the thread as being a little like being "in the pudding" or "on the bus", which is just being there.

Given you've been so open I should be a little confessional as well and I, too, was confused in a much more simplistically gender-ignorant fashion. Your confusion arises from a slightly disingenuous sign-off (as explained above).
I was the victim, but a little more fleet-footed (given the responses) when at theis thread below, I responded to you thnking you were female.
I had the luxury of suddent realisation and editorial license to enable me to change the post ....
We are all in our skin.
It was after one of our continuous 2007 tussles: Bags v Warriors and your graciousness twisted my perceptions.

You'll see the edit - I originally said: "Jess, you're a nice young woman with oodles of talent" but changed it as per above. I was the dummy, not you.
What I continued to say - with gender-edit, stands.
"Don't come the easy sh*t tho' - you walk with and amongst us, you stand tall
or get squashed.
You stand tall we welcome you."
