One of our goals is to enhance the community that has arisen around this site and this forum. To do so, we are creating a cookie driven system to identify and personalize your interaction with it. As soon as this is done, this note will be moot, but I'd thought I'd make the point just the same.

I noticed that many people to not enter their name when posting to the forum. I can understand the desire to remain anonymous, but I really would like that everyone use a name of some sort, whether is their real name or just an alias. I am about to add an email field too.

I feel so strongly about this that I may in fact reprogram the forum to not let you post unless the name field is filled in. I do not really want to do this, so please keep this into consideration when posting.

I look at this as nothing less than a global conversation. I have trouble communicating with folks without some sort of identification. Since we cannot see your face, give us all something to identify with.

Thanks
