And a poor excuse in any case, and carries much less weight than the context — nettime's long-established history of gender bias. Way back I had a boss who all but beat into me how important it is to get names right; he was a creep but he was also right. So: Ana, please accept my apologies, and bronac, thank you for pointing out my mistake.
