We have gotten lots of question concerning the postings and how to sign them. What we are asking is that you use your actual name. If you do not want to use the entire name, at least your first name and a last initial (there are lots of guys with the same names so this helps the others identify you with your posts). As long as your name is included in there either on your post heading, or at the bottom of your message, you are okay.

What we do not want and do not allow is the use of handles or nicknames only. It's not that we don't like such things but just that board behavior is better when people use their real names for all to see. No one is being accused of causing trouble and this board has seen very little in the way of problems so far. But we'd rather address the name thing now than later after we do have problems.

We have a good thing going here and wish to keep it that way. We do not want to ever have to go to any sort of registration system where you have to list all sorts of personal info and then use a password to log in so that you can post. So we are just trying to keep things on the right footing from the outset. Thank you for your consideration.
