Oh dear--I have another book to read :) Actually looking forward to this one. As for initials before names concealing gender: how about agmoore? There is a reason my name is gender neutral. When I started writing (before Steemit), I decided to neutralize whatever preconceptions a reader might have about gender.

As for your articles--they are exhaustively researched, and persuasive enough to send me reading further. That's about the best endorsement any writer can get.
