Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums General Petroliana Discussion Who's Posting....?

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

OK Southfloridagas! What's your name, 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)

Can you believe that after all that I forgot to say KRIS. Can you ever find it in your heart to forgive me? Please send me your neighbors credit card info there are some Feebay items I would like.

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.

Sure Glad that Dick Bennett is just a Screen Name! I can go to a show & use my Real name & no one knows who I am or worry about who I peed off here! LOL

DWSheffer, "WE" think that's a great idea !

best regards

Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne , Peter Parker & Tony Stark

lol

Put your name out there everyone can see it.

Jack Sim

Darin, I agree with signing your name ,but some of us are in hiding. And don't want Dick Bennett to know who we are or where we live. LOL

Gene

I kinda like 'Wonder Woman!' Maybe I should go by that instead of the lame avitar name I chose.

My real name is Puddin' Tain.
.......ask me again,I'll tell you the same.

Heck--I even list my phone number!

I usually sign off with my name,and agree it would be nice to know at least first names.more than once I had to pm another oldgasserto ask what is ........s name ,so I dont sound like a dummy!i changed my profile today in fact.

I was not aware that I had not had my name in my profile until Bob Richards posted...Only been here since 2002. Thanks again Bob.
My name is in my profile and I have always signed out as

Larry

Someone might want to explain how to up date there profile... Tom

Click MY STUFF @ top of page, click Profile, after changing what ever @ bottom of page SUBMIT.
BINGO, DONE.

THX DB.... TOM

No Problem Clem Cadiddlehopper

I am Still Craig Osbeck.

I am still Ed Steagall. Never say or do anything you won't sign your name to, and say " Thanks!"

I agree.Thanks Darin.
Joe Flabeetz

Can I be like the artist who formerly was called Prince?

And after all this, SOUTHFLORIDAGAS still won't sign his real name.

You SURE can SUE!

Great idea! Being on first name basis promotes friendship. Making that personal connection is the first step in developing a rapport which instills a sense of trust and respect. I believe this thread exemplifies this, in that it is two pages long and no one has taken any offense to any post....or disagreed. Very well may be a record!

I think your right Dave that's got to be record, and I also agree with the post.
That's why I always end a post with, "Thanks Lee"

In the 1st 12 hrs of this post Only 21 of the approx 300 regular posters [over 10,000 Members!] have responded!

Great idea Darin!!

Love, Richard

Has you all know everybody that likes me calls me Mitch. The people that don't can call me whatever they like because they don't matter. Mitch

... you can call me Ray

Man I keep forgetting. Kris

I think using your name is a great idea...

Tom

"Heck--I even list my phone number!

LOL, but WHAT is your name?? Rick

I guess it's a matter of personal taste . I moderate on another forum where the persons actual first name is already posted at the bottom . Thats the way we set it up. Some people have this "Extreme " Parinoia idea that they'll be found , with what, hell, I dunno. I sign my real name cause I have nothing to fear from anyone , including some Government helicopters !

Ed Shaver

I'm with you on that Ed. I have always used my name, I still have one of those antique land line telephones so I'm still in the book. I figure if anyone really wants to find me it's pretty easy. I live directly across from the Hillsdale City Police Department, so anyone can ask them where I'm at. I don't fear too much either!
Darin
Thanks for keeping the post positive everyone who responded, whoever you really are, lol!

I'll probably forget to do it everytime,so my name is Wendell.

Hi, My name is John and I have a problem with collecting old rusty stuff.

Hey, I second the "Rusty" , I build scale model service stations ............ AND SELL SOME TOO!
