Jim, if you haven't done so you should read John Dunkles thread on the reasons this has been done and all of the refinements he has made to it. It is a security issue that I couldn't agree more with that protects each and every PGCA Member.
Not everybody who reads these assorted internet gun forums has "good intentions", some are looking for useful information that will help them find a disclosed and unprotected cache of valuable guns.
Newcomers can still see and use all the information we all supply in our discussions but can no longer see our identity until becoming a PGCA Member.... then we can all see each other's identities and we can all see his or at least, if he wishes his information remain private, at least John can see his information.
It's ALL good.
