Well said, and much appreciated.

For whatever it is worth, I have tried for a long time and with increasing
care over the last decade-plus to use gender-neutral wording -- but to do
so in a grammatically correct and stylistically appropriate fashion. (I
have been writing professionally, though not mostly for publication, for
mumble-mumble years.)  Sometimes it is a tough juggling act, but one tries.
