Some things for the membership to consider: how popular is this particular rule, and is it rea lly necessary?
Some members may wonder who is running this organization and perhaps displeased with the attitude of shown by some folks. Those who feel some of the rules are petty surely shows only a degree of intolerance in their acceptance to abide by them. All have a choice when joining CR list agree to accept them or not. As Dale pointed out when he raised the subject ,its only common courtesy to conclude with a name and location. After all, it does not take much time and effort to carry out the task ,if one objects we might ask what are they trying to hide!
In my personal opinion this kind of behaviour does no good for the welfare of membership and will eventually drive folks away from taking part, all because some members object on certain rules.
