I used to use plain "Jacque" in my signature, and everyone thought I was 
a man, which is the primary reason I changed it to "Jacqueline". This 
was way back in the days of bulletin boards, before the web was 
invented, and it was interesting to see how people's responses changed 
when they found out I was female. At the time, women programmers were 
almost unheard of. I let them think I was male for almost a year before 
I dropped the bomb. The double-takes were amusing.
