There have been now and then some discussions about the use of she, he or s/he... since the argument has to do more with the style rather than the subject of the page, I moved it here.

Note: I added my signature to a comment I did, the rest is copy-paste. --Xavi 22:57, 8 February 2007 (EST)

Well, it is about style yet it is also about the quality of English used in the Bitfrost article, so it is about the subject of the page in that using the phrase a user can choose to protect her files from other people on the system, which suggests that all users are female, is factually misleading.
