I know this sounds trivial, but I wish our members would at least let us know their first name? I can understand people (especially ladies) not putting their whole name and city...But, come on ya'll, give us at least your first name, Hopefully, there are no Jack the Ripper here, that can find you by your first name..:)

We should have a prize for the most common first name. Let's start...

JOE nice to meet you all

Dan here!

1 for all the derivations of Daniel

I didn't start this post to be funny or mean! It's hard to address someone by their handle? How would you like to meet someone and ask them their name and told you "Fig Lover"?? Maybe, the person, at least deserves to know your first name to me, the forum is no different. Maybe, to some it's funny or cute, but to me, very serious, I like to know a Man or Ladies first name and I promise, I am not a serial killer! The first thing I do when someone post an Intro is look at their profile, so I can post their first name to welcome them here....Maybe, I am ole fashion,but to me it's very serious.....Nuff said  :)

Frank,
I agree wholeheartedly, I also think there should be a required field for state of residence, just saying.

Big early lead, but we can rally :)

I will never tell. Just kidding,I agree with name and state. City if possible.

First name, City, State and USDA zone seem to be the norm for a lot of us, just need to get others to follow suit.

Frank,

I agree that addressing people by there first name is ideal for polite conversation.  I get tired of looking at peoples profile and hoping they have put a first name.

To some it might be. To you apparently not.

Thanks Frank... Someone's gotta be the enforcer around here...

Puddintane...

Sorry Frank. Couldn't stop myself.

I thought Puddintane was funny.
I also think first name and state, planting zone, should be required. I even added my county but not my city.

Billy here. Howzy to all.

Bernadette.  I've now got a vegetable drawer full of cuttings and seeds and 2 trees sojourning in the basement.  I'm starting to feel like I may belong here.
