Thread Name: BS: Good Guests
Subject: BS: Good Guests
Yesterday, I decided that I wanted to start this thread, and sure enough... first thing this morning, I read all the smart-ass comments that Guests posted while I were asleepin'. That's alright, though.

I know that Guests get stomped on in here regularly, and the ones that do mostly come in TO get stomped on. It's their reason for existence. That's alright, too. Everyone gets their jollies, one way or another. But, I just wanted to say a few good words about the many guests who come in to contribute something positive, named or otherwise.

In the last few days, I've enjoyed exchanging enthusiastic comments with several Guests who posted just as "Guest." I've also exhanged e-mails with a Guest who wanted some information, and it's my pleasure to copy a couple of CDs for him.

Whether Guests are coming in to get information or a "rise" out of members, it would be good if they'd add a moniker, though. Especially those who are coming in just to enjoy the company of others, so that we could refer to them by their "name." They could still be anonymous, as many members are, but it would make it easier to carry on a conversation with them.
