?
I noticed that immediately, as well.
Perhaps the OP made the deliberate decision not mention gender as to not commit herself to appearing discriminative. (I replied with the person in question as a "he", while most other's assumed person was a "she"...lol...not that it really matters, as the op created this in question).

It does make replying a bit awkward as it kind of forces us to think...."Who/What ARE we replying about, exactly?"
