In reading some recent discussions, I've been completely unable to tell who was 
posting some of the messages.  This has caused me to be confused and 
discouraged.

The underlying problem is the way that the mailing list handles "from" 
addresses, giving no information about who the sender might be.  I really think 
this needs to be fixed, but that is probably not a short-term goal.

In the meanwhile, I implore folks to add some sort of identification to their 
messages, so that readers can follow the conversations without undue confusion. 
It isn't necessary to provide an email address, or even a full/legal name.  
Just give us some way to tell who's saying what.

For example, if I were worried about protecting my identity, I might use an 
alias such as rdm or RichM, instead  of my full name.  Instead, I plan to 
provide both my name and email address (as shown below), so folks can contact 
me off-list, etc.
