FWIW I agree. Chris 6301 Dick Ryan <deloreanbiker@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: Dave & other moderators Since I opened this can of worms, let me at least tell you what I had hoped to accomplish. My email was prompted by two actions by Bruce Benson (this weeks moderator and a personal friend of mine). One was the moderators comment. I think all list memebers should know which moderator is commenting. After all, some of those comments are sort of paternally critical and, IMHO, authorship whould be known. The other reason (and I have already personally conveyed this to Bruce) was that I felt that Ryan's accusation of VB being a scammer should never have been posted. The problem with posting opinions like that, in addition to simply being in bad taste, is that it causes the "I want the last word" syndrome to take place. While understandable, we don't need that either. Now to the hard part: Identity verifcation. I am admittedly a computer neophyte. I wouldn't even know how to begin to track down "Fat Boy", "SonnyV" or Endotex, et al. Further, I have no desire to limit the list to actual verifiable owners. But, I feel that the contributors with honest intentions to stick to the subjects of the DML will not object to being identified by a First & Last Name. Or, if an owner, a First Name and VIN #. I may be way off base here and, if so, will probably hear about it. I'm just tired of highly opinionated personal descriptions of one list member by another.
