It's definately not a male/female thing - my parents pointed out to me that
*I* do it (and I'm female) to any non-tech. So now I make a conscious effort
not to - and sometimes wind up being patronising. SIGH. I don't MEAN to!
Hell, I couldn't /possibly/ do sales work, or admin work.. I'm damn lucky
I live in a time where I can be techie. I'd be lost otherwise. Everyone has
their own skills and weaknesses!
