Since I don't believe in anonymity, I've always signed my full name,
although I've never made a practice of adding my current home town as
Ron has suggested, but I think his suggestion is a good one and will
adopt it. I would encourage others to do the same.
If most adopt it, we can only add to the civility we all desire, and
probably increase the throughput of sound advice and information. An
interesting corrollary is that there is probably not a newspaper in
North America who will print a letter in the "Reader's Write" column
without knowing the person's name and address. A signed letter is more
likely to be reasoned and rational than an anonymous one. The same
probably applies to signed postings.
