I quite agree about the nickname thing. It's getting annoying.
I also would like to post an announcement/warning/whatever that
attachments to messages are no longer welcome. Too many have had
viruses. If you have a file or something you'd like to share, please
post it in the FILES area of the Group. (Notice the FILES shortcut on
the left-hand column? Try it some time!) Also, PLEASE scan all files
for virii BEFORE uploading them! Thank you.
