(Author)'s basically describing WAT. So while the number might be off, the patch itself exists. http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/genuinewindows/archive/2010/0

  Lauren is a he. That is a picture of him on the bike. And a very interesting fellow.

    I am a male 'Loren' by birth, but 'Lauren' to everyone who has ever tried to write down my name with explicit guidelines. (When I was young, my mother once accidentally almost enrolled me in a girls' school, which was delighted at the opportunity to welcome little Lauren.) As such, I have little to offer in this discussion other than: Thanks for helping to keep the pronouns straight. I also always struggle with the temptation to say "What he's saying is …" when referring to an anonymous poster --I know it may not be the correct word, but it's so much easier than finding a gender-neutral re-phrasing. I quite like the grandparent's suggestion of '(Author)'s' as a substitute for 'his' or 'her' (or 'his or her').

      And I have learned recently that "their" is acceptable in this context as well. I probably wouldn't have made the comment other than the fact that I did some work with him back in the 80s.
