"Folks"?  I really do mean "folks" when I write "guys", but I do understand why 
it can come across as exclusionary, and I try to force myself into the habit of 
"folks".  It sounds a bit odd in English, although not as archaic as "chaps", 
which I'm also guilty of; I'm assuming there's no additional cultural 
assumptions attached to "folks" in American?

Cheers,
Tim.
