In order to work on a Free Software project you need to interact. Even in an email, there are plenty of subtle clues as to your gender, colour, nationality etc etc.

We may not be able to consciously recognise those clues, but I bet within a few emails you will have a good idea of the sort of person you're dealing with, and gender is one of factors that stands out pretty quickly.

Cheers,
Wol

Really? Go ahead, guess my nationality, whatever that means. _Tons_ of l-k postings to play with. For bonus points, show me an evidence of any bias in the same postings, be it conscious or not.
