Hey John, when people don't sign their names at the end of their post, I don't know who is writing bc I can't remember who belongs to what last name or "handle" they use that isn't their name. It makes it very difficult to reply to that person by name

Hey @sunnyflower, You bring up a good point which is why I always tag the person my message is replying to using their member name. Sometimes I will "sign" my name but since I feel like I'm sitting in Cheers where everybody knows my name I normally don't type my name unless it's a really long post and you can't see my member name at the top of the post. So just for you, thanks for the reminder... John 🙂

Hi Sunny, yes not everyone feels comfortable using their real names here. I think they are trying to be careful. The internet is, as you know, attended by some very bad people along with the 99% good and well meaning people. And some people are trying to be as safe as they can.
I try to remember everyone by their handle or Mayo name. I suppose if someone wanted to, they could make a list of each person's handle they want to remember and write a few notes with each one to remind them of who they are. I try to do it in my brain which is hardly a perfect way to remember. If you click on their handle (I am talking about the @<name> thingy in blue), you will be taken to their profile page and you can read some of their recent posts as a refresher. I don't know how to go back very far in their post history though. Best, Hank
