Good lord! My sincere apologies EB!!
Now this is what happens when I mix in the company of film aficionados. I made the incorrect assumption that the gender of their avatar snap (if indeed there is one) might be linked to their real gender. As there was no other clue, what is a chap to do? Further to my own defence, I ought to add that my own avatar isn't a million miles away from what I actually look like. Well perhaps the odd ten thousand miles or so.
Now I wonder. Is there a deeply buried part of the forum where members, in Batman-like spirit, have whipped off their disguise and revealed their own true photographic identity?
