Do you use OP for all operators, thus watering down the traditions, or
use it to address those who you know are females?

Guess I'm behind the curve, but I always thought the ladies were addressed
as YL's/XYL's.

Such a throwback I am...I still offer to open doors for women...and some
of the ones my age are appreciative, while some of newer vintage get all
upset.
