Not a faux pas at all, Hardcore Newbie. We welcome male interaction, too. It's certainly not a girls' only club. It's just that ladies are the minority on these boards as a whole and found that sometimes when asking or discussing girl-related topics in other areas they'd get derogatory comments or silly interjections. This is a forum in which it's safe to address female-related issues without fear of ridicule or negative comments. At least that's what we hope.
