Hello- I'm really going to go out on a limb here, but here goes. I think as a courtesy that when we respond to a post, if you address a certain person, you should use their name, and not the user id (unless the person doesn't give their real name). I noticed that most everyone lists their name under the user ids, and posters will address their name, but I've noticed that when I get a response, sometimes my user id is used, when my name is clearly underneath. It sort of makes me feel a little bit snubbed and off-putting. I've tried to be nice on the forum and everyone generally has been very nice...but my only complaint is please...could you use my name......Judy? I'm sorry if this may seem a little nic-picky, but I had to vent because it bothered me a little. Thank you for listening. |

Big hug for Judy! If you were closer, I'd take you out for a girls day.

Jusy - There are quite a few people aroung here who do not include their real name. I use both. I try to use real names but sometimes I am posting in respose to something written on a previous page and I forget the real name. Since most of you dont have a face to go with your name sometimes it is the creativity of the user name that sticks in my head. I am certain NO ONE meant to hurt anyones feelings or slight anyone in anyway. We are glad you are apart of the group. Even if your real name was JunkJunkie we would still love you! :)

Judy -- sorry you have felt left out. I always try to use the name as I think most others do too. But sometimes I only remember the user name so that's what I use. We're glad you're here and just jump right in with the rest of us and make yourself at home!

Thank you everyone for your responses. I know no one has any intention of insulting or hurting anyone. This forum and the people on it are not that way. As I said, everyone has been very nice, and I enjoy participating and reading the posts. Again, I'm sorry if I was being too sensitive and nic-picky. Michelle, there's nothing to forgive....I'm sorry. Judy |

Judy, I'm sorry to hear you feel at all snubbed. It is certainly not anyone's intention. Mary Ann makes a valid point that has caught me a few times when responding. However, it is also charming when someone knows you by your username. I get stuck trying to remember two names and certainly hope people understand if I use the one I am more used to seeing...that red stands out so nicely and the names are so creative.
I will make an effort to address you by your given name, Judy. :) Please forgive me if I forget, I mean no insult.

Judy, when you hit the Reply to Topic button, the usernames remain but the real names disappear. Just so you know that people might not really be snubbing you; they may not be able to remember if there are many responses to a thread. |

I always try to use the name if it's listed. Just seems more personal. |
