I wish we had an automatic post note that would display where they are from anytime a post is made. This would help understand some of the comments and where they are located.

Do you have a better idea?

There is a location (from:) thing to fill out in the profiles section. That I wish more users would use.

I agree Rolan! jjtroutbum is right....if people would just fill out the "From" in their profile, that would help....would also be nice if they would add there name in signature section.

Problem is.....

some people don't want identified with their comments.

I guess I can understand that somewhat as people feel free-er

to say what's on their minds.

I, on the other hand, feel if I won't stand behind what I say....

maybe I shouldn't say it.

However, as we have seen on earlier posts,

retaliation is a horrible thing!

In my profession we call them "telephone tough guys". I guess in this case it will be "internet tough guys"!

O.K. as a "lurker in the shadows", I rarely post, but I do occasionally join in.

I took your hint and amended my profile... I live in south Louisiana.

Now, let's see if other lurkers will do the same?

Tightlines,

Well, the way I see it, most are so stoked to find this site that they just do a quick sign up/in and get on with it... never bothering with the "details" because they have an addiction to feed.

How would you know if someone was using their given name anyway? Are we going to conduct background checks and make sure all info matches? I know this is not where you guy's are aiming.

A name is given as a means of addressing and identification. Both are accomplished here whether it was their given name or the one they chose to use here. For all intents and purposes, we know who we are dealing with.

As far as saying that someone is hiding behind the names given here or someone being a tough guy, I haven't seen any kind of threats to rumble. Just because some have different views or opinions, or don't sugar coat their thoughts, doesn't necessarily mean a cyber fight has broke out.

I think the biggest problem with forums like this, is that when a post is sent out for the world to read, do we really know what the tone of voice was the author was typing in? I look back at the sentences posted in this post and can easily read it in a hostile tone. But that is the nowhere near the tone I'm using to type in. I'm just grateful for spell check! Now, if they could just develope a "Proper English Check".

I think it is a good idea. I have updated mine. If anyone sees me on the river or anywhere else, stop me and say "a good ozark angler day to you".
