Hi, Rob Morley
This isn't directed at you, but to the group as a whole.

For what it's worth, Theo's reply to Dennis Lee Bieber /could have/ said
"However, Bud Spencer didn't give us enough info..." (the post that Theo
replied to contained Bud Spencer's name as part of the quote attribution
line), and avoided this "gender-neutral pronoun" issue entirely.
Prior to that reply, I saw no sign that Bud Spencer preferred one self-
referential pronoun over another. How about we, where-ever possible, just
use proper nouns instead of guessing about (or railing against) the
(improper?) use of pronouns, gender-neutral or not?
