I wouldn't go as far as Ms. Dill and saying it's offensive, but it is annoying that whenever you call some company and they look you up in their database, they say "ma'am" instead of "sir" (or, in Ms. Dill's case, presumably the opposite), and whenever you start posting in a new forum (Usenet, mailing list, etc), you inevitably have to correct the first person who refers to you with the wrong gender pronouns, etc, which is always embarassing for both you and the person who made the mistake... That said, this is getting horribly off-topic... though perhaps we should ask whether sex mailing lists are hosted on networks that filter 69/8? :) (Yes, I know, that wasn't a good attempt at being on topic...)
