Who is and who isn't? Apparently my best days are behind me though! Haha. You're telling me!
I find it harder to keep track when there are so many using NASXXXXX names. Is there a requirement to switch from these (temporary?) numbers after a while?
I think it would benefit all (genuine) parties to lose the temporary names asap. If I can remember a name, I can remember more of the background to an individual's queries and my responses will probably be more helpful. All of these NASXXXXX names merge into one in my head so the continuity is lost or I have to waste time doubling back to check whether this was the same person that said that or whether this is something new (or even just trolling). To me this means that this online community doesn't pull together quite as well as it might. It erodes my confidence.
Greetings to "Jenny Butterfly"! I also agree with this and agree with that little stack of sub-replies, there! This should not be a difficult thing to do for NAS, & should include checking certain Technical things as well, with regards to certain Users...
When a person changes their name, they still identify themselves by what they write and by the manner in which they write it.
With regards to compulsory changing of names/Icons, I agree with that because there ARE a HUGE amount of temporary People who simply post a bit of a panic about "Autism", then maybe do at most two more Threads - and then they never *ever* post again, ever.
...The only thing which I do not know, even after all this time, is why NAS seems to *invite* such things - they could put more links and information upon the Home Page... but they do not.
