    Sometime ago I made a public move on laserlight on this forum only to discover he's male and the avatar is of a female colleague at work.
    Whoa, I really did think that laserlight was a she and not a he :|

    All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection,
    except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

    *scratches head*

    I'm still questioning whether or not laserlight actually did say that (s)he was a guy or a girl... I know (s)he said that the girl in the picture wasn't h(im/er), but did (s)he ever really say that (s)he wasn't a woman, h(im/er)self?



    -('.')- ____ THANK YOU, SLY!

    No, thank YOU, parenthesis guy!

    laserlight did say he was a guy...
    right in the same thread Mario made his move.

    I think vart likes what he sees in the pic, and just wants laserlight to be that.
