If you don't mind, that is great. I tell them that, as a list owner,
I want to know who is on the list. They have to tell me. Then they
can be anon if you wish. (My subscriber list is hidden, so it is not
important whether they are concealed or not. It is just a lot easier
for ME if no one is concealed.) Get the name. Then you can set it the
way you want it. Usually "Firstname Lastname" is just someone too
stupid or confused to know that they are supposed to put their real
names in there. <G>
