you just did.

That’s all well and good dude but I think you missed the point of my post.
Probably my bad for not making myself clearer.
I was actually attempting to point out that by using the term “he” in the reply , one is assuming the post was made by a male,
when there is no information to make that assumption. Or at least that’s how I read it.
So I use a gender neutral pronoun to account for that.
And as sways link pointed out “they” is ok for that purpose. Apparently there is disagreement on this…whatever man.
Nothing to get one's panties in a twirl about.
Of course you can use “he or she” too, which works fine. that’s all up to the writer I guess.
I simply prefer using “they” but that’s just my writing style preference. ymmv
It has absolutely nothing to do with gender pronoun political correctness  (which, as I clearly stated in my post, think is nonsense.)
and everything to do with not wanting to possibly incorrectly refer to a she as a he...nothing more, nothing less.
And yes I should have appended my post to clarify that if indeed the poster is female, it doesn’t make any shit bit of difference.

Please, no more pompous long winded lectures, that's jays job.
