You don't need to be registerd to enter a nickname in the "user name" box when you post.

Just a reminder -- may make it easier to keep stuff straight.

Wow you dont need to be registered!

It sure would be easier to 'track' posted information
if ALL who posted to this forum were registered...
LIKE (almost) ALL of the other forums (I subscribe to) require!

If you want to be an unknown (unregistered) user,
why not keep your questions and suggestions to yourself...
and suffer or triumph in silence?

PS Why does this forum NOT require registration for postings?

I registered because I thought I was brought to a page that required it before I could post... Maybe I just made that up?

I'm not too picky about "unregistered" users. It's fine by me if they don't want to be attached or commited to the forum. But, I think it's only fair that those who posted questions or comments should have the courtesy of coming back to the thread and see if they've got replies. And when they have, I think it's only fair that they at least say "thanks" to the replier. It seems that many, especially among the "unregistered", don't bother to check their own thread, even when someone was kind enough to reply to their inquiries.

And yes, I do think it's better if most of us were registered, or at least were using a designated username especially if you're going to hang around for a while. It allows us to make coherent dialogs.
