- I had to look up the word karyotype in the dictionary. I always thought
- there were two Kayro-types: clear and dark, but that both are basically
- composed of corn syrup (I'm trusting that you also have Kayro on that
- side of the pond and will understand this feeble joke...).

- In any event, if my understanding of the word is correct, then I was
- equating gender and karyotype. Biversity also has TV people, but I'm
- not sure whether there were any TS's at that time.

- Hmmm... I don't have Alan's definitions handy. I saw an early draft, but
- I don't remember what he said about gender. Comments, Alan?
