My call is embedded in the email address twice! Unfortunately, some email clients hide the addresses from view. I never understood why that is, but I don't use any of those clients. On 4/23/17 9:59 AM, Wes Stewart wrote: Hmm. Speaking of trolls. Name and call embedded in email address.

I see many new guys on here who constantly dont sign there posts/ name or call. Probably of the paranoid... I personally take offense, be proud! I'm proud to be a "code" extra, passed my general in front of an fcc ... at 13 years old. Advanced and extra at the VEC . Woo-hoo. I'm proud of my call

I use a little add-on for T-bird called QuickText [free]. You can have any number of signatures and/or canned items that go into the message wherever you wish. I'm sure there are others just like it for other email clients. It just seems like common courtesy. I include my location because

Not too many reading posts on this reflector who do not know what a callsign is. It is part of reflector courtesy IMHO. I do not include my callsign on non ham reflector posts, nor do I sign with '73'. In other words, I do not have a signature file that attaches automatically - easy enough

It makes little sense to make a signature with a call sign when most people outside of amateur radio would have no idea what it is? There is no need for a signature when the name is already in the sent field. If it matters then simply send a polite e-mail asking the person what their call
