Nope, didn't take it personally. *g* I got over that when I went to a barbecue last summer and found out that I was on the menu according to some of the people there. Actually, it wasn't that bad, nor was it that traumatic (I'd already done GenCon, where we announced it) but it was kind of funny.
It helps that I really am genuinely behind 4.0 - I do think that, for me at least, it's a better product. It encourages more social interaction and more character development, and lessens the role of combat, and since that was a lot of why I switched to WoD, that makes sense. I actually was going to try to figure out what percentage of WoD players were female and what percentage of D&D players were male; I think the correlation is VERY high, but that's market research that people aren't interested in, as far as I can tell.
People keep falling back on how 90% of comment card replies we got, when putting comment cards in the D&D core books, were from men, but they're ignoring a fallacy: All that proves is that 90% of people who fill out our comment cards are male.
