Tom A, In case you were not aware, all you have to do to see the real name of a member is click on the member profile in one of their posts. One of the rules created when this new forum was established was - No more anonymous users with posting privileges. You can use a name handle if you want, but your identity must be know to the board admins and you must have valid email address.
That rule has cut the flames posts down to near zero... Of the 436 membership applications so far, only about 6 have been either invalid names or have simply refused to respond to a request for their name before authorizing posting privileges. Those applicants simply don't know what they are missing by not being able to participate here. I doubt many other discussion boards have percentages that good.
