You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It seems likely to me that anyone who had an issue with publicly displaying their name probably isn't using their IRL name anyway.
If, say, we had a bunch of celeb signups, would we be well served by listing them publicly? I don't feel so. I don't think the up side is significant at all.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Maybe just me, but when we were at WX when the board was down, it weirded me out that my name was on a list at the left. Just sitting there. For other people to see.

Our wings are not tired.
No doubt the reasons against far outweigh.

True Deena. It was always odd the see how many lurkers were about. And that was only the list of people that didn't hide their names. OTOH, there also was the "oh goody Deena is here" reaction when I read the list.

I meant to ask this earlier -- if any Buffistas who have changed their names want that name changed reflected on the BRQG? Please lemme know.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Shrift, I don't know if I was COMM'd before my name change, but if so I'd like to have them changed from Ro to Astarte.
Or do you want an email request? Not sure the protocol here.

Yeah, it needs a ciao.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Maybe include a link to the FAQ in the letter? Can you do that?
