This topic came up recently, and I think more people have begun to add their names to their sigs. I like that

Most of us spend a part of each day here, and it seems odd to address folks by screen names if we post every day. It seems so impersonal.
Please call me ada. It's in my sig for a reason - to be used

. I like addressing folks by their real names, but can't remember everyone and realize not everyone wants their real names known here. Sooooo....unless it's a long-time member, whose name I've seen used by others, or the name is in the sig line, I will use the nick.
