Good idea. Perhaps something could be added to the Welcome Message. Or an additional Welcome message generated, since I only got the standard Listserv welcome when I joined. I make it a practice to at least use my name and email in a sig, and depending on the style of the list, I add my company. I do remember that Mr. Omar only had his name in the sig, with no other identifying information.
