		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps I am just being overly sensitive to this but I have noticed that there is a prevalence of late for website sign-up forms to ask for not only the usual information such as a user name, but the ever ubiquitous and completely useless date of birth and now, this week, your gender!

Well Andy, you’re late to the party on that one, and trust me, nobody gives a damn about your 40-yr old pre-pubescent photographs.
