Tess- First, I'm sorry for your loss. Things like that during the holidays are especially tough, even if you know they have to happen. Second, you handled the insinuation here with suffiecient grace to make it clear that you are not a guy! Now my take on the whole thing- As I followed this thread I thought that it was pretty neat that someone had an idea for a gift, but didn't know quite what they were after, did some research, got loads of good information, learned from it, and, from all appearances, is interested enough to participate in the hobby as well. That can't be a bad thing. I didn't see anything inappropriate said by anyone. Would there have been as many responses if Tess was a guy? Maybe, maybe not. But is that really relevant? There have been plenty of threads from newbies or parents trying to get things for kids. Some die out, but I think it is often because the original poster vanishes. Tess didn't vanish. She stayed with it and asked new and more informed questions, so the thread kept going. I just don't see a problem. There have certainly been other offers of help to other forum members, I just don't see a probelm, and don't see why there has to be negativity cast on what certainly looks like a good thing to me. So there! You can call me Tom, it seems to be a good thing.
