Hey Charlie, Thanks for your kind reply. The thread from "Address" was on the topic, "Has anyone ever heard of Kyle Stetson"? I was curious. Why *should* I have heard of him... why would this question be of interest to the U2 folks? But I felt silly addressing those questions to "Dear Address" or "Hey mrparkland". Does Address have a first name? Is mrparkland even a name?? This person has been posting under this alias for a very long time - rarely, if ever, identifying themselves. The same complaint recently came up regarding FFT2001. I *knew* who this person was, but why hide??? FFT2001 has also been posting for quite a long time, rarely identifying himself by first/last name.
I think that a professional group such as ours is for those who value the content of messages and the exchange of thoughtful comments. And as such, folks should identify themselves - at least in closing a message for goodness sake. If one doesn't want to "own" their comments, then they shouldn't post them!!! I can't wait till I'm in a meeting and am introduced... Laura, I'd like you to meet "address" and sitting next to him is "fft2001". To me, *not* identifying oneself by name is rude and inappropriate - at least for this group. Just my .02 cents. Thanks again Charlie for your kind message, and for identifying yourself! <g>. Hope you are doing well!

Hi Laura, I don't think anyone is really trying to be rude. Forums tend to be a bit less formal, and many people just dash off a note without identifying themselves. I'm certain some deliberately hide their identity, but surely they are a very small minority. I wish everyone would sign their names, too, but it probably isn't going to happen, even with most email clients offering signature blocks, so I just put up with that to get all the great information and wisdom which can be found here. Sort of like the [AD] designation in the subject, which in retrospect, I should not have even mentioned the other day. My apologies if that rubbed anyone the wrong way.
