Maybe this small, simple gesture will promote more reasonable dialog and more civil communication.
For those unwilling to sign their posts with their real, full name, I have to ask why not?

Because even though your post is thoughtful and sincere and this site is very well run.... I believe were it not for the untiring efforts of our webmaster, this forum would look very different and not so nice. You just have to look to the beginning of this thread, where Fat Lazy Less' name was hijacked in a newspaper, to see why it is not prudent or smart to publish your name in a forum like this.
With few exceptions I think most people are sincere in what they post here. But some seem to troll and we have no idea what gets moderated out by Don. In the end, when I post, I try to make sure I would say it to someone's face, although I agree, some probably get braver hiding behind a screen name, they are usually easy to pick out.....
