Hi all,
I deleted the rules thread because I think some of the comments were getting counter-productive. I hadn't intended to start arguments. I just wanted to get some clarity on rules preferences, which I think we got. The preference seems pretty clear.
The final poll tally:
10 for first or last names
56 for first and last names
4 for don't care
(why does everything in life seem to come down to an 80/20 split?)
Many people mentioned that they felt that including last names gave them a greater sense of community. I guess I can understand that, and I admire the attempt to create (or re-create, as the case may be) a "community" in the typically impersonal and unfriendly cyberspace.
