I'll second that, Dick. In that past, I've been in support of allowing unsigned posts, because of possible negative reprocussions against the submitter, from the vendors. However, since we have gotten firm commitments that the vendors will not discriminate against anyone simply because of unflattering comments, then I don't believe this to be a vaild argument any longer. There is no longer any reason for anyone not to sign their VIN # and/or full name to any of the posts that are submitted to the DML. If you want your voice to publicly be heard, then it must accompany your public identity. -Robert vin 6585 "X" --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Dick Ryan <deloreanbiker@xxxx> wrote: > > 1.
