> I have seen a new practice lately--one which acknowledges the problem without being insane about it. Some works use either "he" or "she" but in a continuous context where the individual referred to is clearly the same, the same pronoun is used... Overall, though, the two are used about evenly.

I don't have a problem with people who want to write that way. I suppose it is a reasonable solution, and I have read pieces in which this is done without being awkward. But I don't want anyone telling me *I* have to do it that way, you know?
