3. I still do not understand whats wrong with having only the first name in the profile. I
understand that we need to be able to track message sent by the users before, but this is done by
the forum's software automatically. You can get the history of message. If I have a discussion with
somebody, I do not care, if his name is "John Clooney" or "John Montgomery".
Yeah, even google-mail client, do remove the last part of the name, so that only first name is
visible ;)
I think that is because you are the only Art on the list. :)
When I see a message from a "-Paul", I like to be able to glance up and
know whether it's Melis or Martz... without having to click a link or
remember which potentially cryptic e-mail address belongs to them.
I think this is also the reason, why almost half of the forum users, do put only their first names in their profile. I mean people still want to stay somehow "anonymized" and I think this are their rights.
Fine to be anonymous as long as it is a consistent pseudonym that the
rest of us can treat as a real name. Someone on the mailing lists used
to post for years that way (don't remember who but it was related to
their job or something).
-Paul (Speed, !Martz, !Melis)
