Folks need to ID themselves by their forum handle, when email communicating for the very first time.
This has happened several times. Out of the blue, for the first time, someone emailed me with questions or in reference to some thread/post I made. No introduction, and no screen name whatsoever. That's just plain rude. You're not getting a reply, if I don't know who the heck you are.

Good point Q. I’ve emailed a few Sigforum folks over the years. I always say ‘My name is Richard ******. I go by CoolRich59 on Sigforum.’
Heck. I even introduce myself when I talk to my neighbors. Even tnough I live down the street, I don’t expect them to know or remember who I am.
It’s common courtesy folks! This message has been edited. Last edited by: CoolRich59,

Unfortunately, common courtesy is not so common anymore.

Yes, it is annoying.
I start any new email dialogue with something like: Good morning. L. R. (“V-Tail”) here.
If I receive an email that is clearly from a forum member, but I don’t know which member, I might return a three word response: “Who is this?”

I even put "Sig Forum: " as the start of the subject line.

Same here, subject is usually something like: SigForum: Email Subject
Followed by an intro with my username in the first line or 2.

I always put my screen name and invisible friend from "the forum" or "SigForum" in initial emails. Luckily I have been hanging around long enough that the long timers are good with that.

I know I have done that, but do not think I have emailed more than one person on this sight.

I agree. I always put “BB61 from SIGforum” in the subject line. To much spam nowadays.

Any time I email another member I identify myself with my forum name. Even if we have emailed each other before.
