Great suggestion Uriel. I think that's the shortest post I've ever seen from you. ;-) I might add that it would be nice if people would include the identity of the responders when posting summaries.

I would like to suggest a feature that should be mandatory for emails to the list: please include your full name and some sort of identification (position/role, institution/company, and the like), even if succinct. Many people send emails signed with their initials, first name only, or name without any other indication on who the person is. Sometimes the email address gives some indication but even that is impossible sometimes (hotmail, gmail, etc), and if possible that still is not the way for the rest of us to know who and where you are. When I just started in the list i used to sign just my name, and it was pointed to me that some sort of identification is usually expected, and I completely agree. I am sure that the people doing so are just unaware, as I was. Maybe that should be part of the "instructions" sent to new list members, together with the usual be nice and polite. I think that part of the communication between us should include our personal identification, not only that of our fluorescence channels! Best regards, uriel. -- Uriel Trahtemberg, M.D. M.Sc.
