Summary: 

For the record, I use Barry's login, but my name is Lee (Ann) Gold.
Sorry about confusing some of you.  Having a unisex first name is confusing
in its own right.  When I graduated high school, I got letters from an
all men's college inviting me to attend -- and from a fraternity inviting
me to join.  (I wrote back and told them my middle name -- and asked if they
still were interested.  They didn't reply.)

I currently edit a Fantasy Roleplaying Apa and get several letters a month
to "Mr. Lee Gold," since most would-be subcribers are convinced that all
gamers are male (as indeed most wargamers are).

And no, Lee isn't short for anything (though my father's mother was named
Leonora).  My parents' first conception was stillborn, and they picked out my
name before I was born as a sign of faith -- which is why it had to be
suitable to either gender.
