Have manners died on the internet, on sites like this?

I don’t know where the originators were from but like lots of American 🇺🇸 sites there are so many people who omit to introduce themselves when they make initial contact and for someone brought up with manners I find it a little off-putting, I don’t know why!

Giving your name will not betray any sense of anonymity it that is what you seek here, but it helps good people to determine who they are or what they are speaking to. Common decency is a great tool to break barriers and appear civilised in the community here.
