Yes, Johns.? By all means, show your papers.? But, and this may be a stretch, but just consider it, what if someone in this forum isn't a ham, or doesn't want their call sign associated with this forum?? Then what?? Horrors!? An interloper!? Is it really any of your business how someone signs into this forum?? If you aren't comfortable talking to plain old "Pat," then don't respond.??
Trolls are a part of internet life.? Ignore them and they usually go away.? Discuss them and they feast.??
Ham radio is a fun hobby, and I most enjoy those having fun with the hobby.? I have learned so much from this forum and the comments, advice, and suggestions, that it's hard to take any criticism of how this is run seriously.? Filter out the negative.? Collaborate and have fun.??
