First names makes it difficult for some of us to follow along

A lot of it just comes from time on the board. I have met several members in several different states, but most of the first name basis stuff is just from being on here.

Maybe folks oughta be a little less shy and just put their first name or nickname in their signature.

I agree!! I know a fair number of ppls first names on here and have only met 1 fabo member in person... The "regulars" are easier to remember... It really helps when people have their first name in their signature. I was even thinking about changing my user name to a nickname I've had since I was probably 3 but couldn't figure out how to...
