Hey folks,
I'm reasonably sure there have been threads in the past on this topic in the Newbie forum, but I thought I'd bring it up again for a refresh. I'd like to encourage everyone to put their real first name (or some sort of "normal" name they're willing to go by, even if it's not real) in their signature line, or somewhere in their posts. Maybe it's just me, but I hate addressing someone using their cryptic username when replying to one of their posts. Clearly there are times when one must use the username, as there are lots of people with the same real name, of course. But it's really nice to have a real name to go along with the username when conversing back and forth within a thread. If you're inclined to do so, please add your name to your sig!
