Hello All, I don't know how others feel, but with the recent addition of quite a few new members (and even some older ones!), I wanted to mention I think it would be nice if you guys could sign your name to your posts when you are asking questions. I love to reply to any of the questions that I am able to help answer, but I hate replying to member XXXXXX, instead of John, Bill, or Joe.  I guess at 36 years old I'm kind of an "old soul" so to speak, but I like addressing people by name instead of a handle. I've even had a couple PM's from new members and they don't sign their names, which I think is kind of odd personally. I know some people may be big on privacy or being transparent, so this is just a suggestion, not a big deal I guess. Have a good one, Darin

Darin you are out of line. Totally kidding I agree. Sometimes I have to go to a members profile to see what their name is. If we were all on cb's we could stick to handles only:) good post Darin

Being new to this exellent forum i totally agree with you Darin.It does seem more personable and "old soul".It would be great to meet each collector in person to share our stories and put a face to our computer names.I definitely have no problem with this and would even give out my neighbours credit card number on my signature if it helps me with any questions i have! LOL

Darin, I agree... In fact I asked a few months ago,that everyone please add their name to their profile.
With it in their profile, only Oldgas members will be able to see their real/true identity (for those who are more safety conscious than myself.... Like Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, The Incredible Hulk, Wonder Woman.. well you know who you are... LOL)

I love this as for years I have been going to shows and see faces and nametags but would love to always know who I'm replying to.
Thanks
