People thank us. That's cool enough for me.
More writers now know that we appreciate them and support them, some of them dropped us a line to thank us, no doubt more of them that didn't write appreciated the efforts made to bring them goodies. It's all good. I don't need to know the name unless the person sending the email indicted that the name should be posted.
I'm down with using discretion in posting names publicly. I, for one, am getting a great deal of pleasure out of imagining that Mindy Kaling and BJ Novak wanted to thank us for our support.
Pfft. You're all nuts. Clearly it was Jane Espenson and Winnie Holzman.
Aaron Sorkin, yo.
I would suggest that when the stompies receive an email, they respond with "thanks, we really appreciate knowing that we're doing some good. I will post your email, but just wanted to get your permission to use your name on a public forum."
I like that idea. That way you know if they thought they were sending a public thank you to the board.
Didn't one of them say they tried to post but couldn't figure how or where so they just emailed the admins?
I kind of thought in that case they were trying to get the post through, but emailed privately by default. It is enough to know someone appreciated, but if they were writing thinking they were writing to the board, I wouldn't mind knowing the name.

The writer in question did register, but didn't know where to post. If s/he had posted, all you would have seen was the username which would have given you no clue as to the real name.
Ahhh I understand.
The suggestion is still a good one in case they would have signed the post.
The fact that people took time out from all that crap to thank us is enough. Even if they just write Ryan Seacrest's dialogue it's still cool that they made the effort back.

seriously!

My thought exactly. Bless their beleaguered hearts.
