Please set a name on your outgoing e-mail instead of an e-mail address.

It does not matter if it is a real name, or a consistent alias that you 
like.

This mailing list is gated to the gmane.comp.hardware.tandy.coco news group.

One of the features of gmane that is enabled for this news group is 
e-mail mangling.

This mangling takes anything that looks like an e-mail address and 
replaces it with a unique temporary e-mail address that will forward 
e-mail to you for a short time.

Putting a name on your e-mail address will make your postings look 
better when seen from a newsreader on gmane.

There are currently about 4 or 5 active posters that have not set a name 
in their e-mail client.

Also, if you want gmane users to actually see anything that has an (at) 
sign in it, you have to replace it with (at), or all that will be seen 
on gmane is a temporary e-mail address.

Thanks,
-John
