I second this suggestion. 
Please put your name on the subject line of your bio.
In the gopher archives for example this would be very helpful.

Concern was expressed about including addresses.  Use you own 
judgement.  List messages are "published" - available
to the public and are archived on gopher and WWW.  Certainly not like
being in the newspaper but they are out there.  In some ways more 
revealing than in the phonebook, some ways less.

BTW, my address and phone number have been on the net for several years
now and I think I've had one or two phone calls as a result and
am unaware of any problems it's caused.


I'd like to suggest for those in the US including zip code since it
is a uniform moderate degree of specification of location without
being completely specific without further info.


I'd also be interested in knowing if people are using WWW since it
is such a complementary feature of the net.  It's a place to store
information where one can go look it up when ou want it rather
than when the info happens to 'decide to come' (as with list messages).

To summarize:  I'd like to see bio's include:

1) Subject line with real name

2) ZIP CODE (US)

3) Whether you are using WWW (world wide web)
