Hi Bill,
I agree, but what is it that everyone can not understand about my post? I stated that the names or initials can not be used on this forum. I mean that! Until I hear otherwise, they shall not be permitted. If Herb tells me it is ok, then I will reverse my decision, but until then, PLEASE do not use them!

Hi Floyd.
I was actually enjoying the original suggestions -
Body Odor and Terrible Mean Bodyodor. 8)
They somehow seem quite appropriate for the task at hand.
Not that I have any big need to discuss the products.

The biggest problem I have had stem from threads requiring prior knowledge as to what is going on. We tend to speak in generalities that only the knowledgeable can discern. Those who suffer and are left scratching their head are the newbies, or those who haven't dredged into past threads to gain understanding. It turns into something resembling a click or an "in group" and can appear elitist to the unaware. Obscuring names does not change the meaning or intent. It may be worth waiting a few days to learn the content of the letter, plus we may gain character by refraining from pure bashing by sticking to facts or observations. It really puts a burden on the moderator, however we may grow from it.
