Hey Dave is VH your last name and I mean no disrespect if it is but if it isn't can I ask you to post your last name. We are trying something a little different here: To ensure we have the best communication possible, we are asking that you use your full name if you wish to participate. By eliminating anonymous posts we hope to elevate the discussion and maintain a sense of open and honest sharing. The intent is not to exclude anyone but to protect everyone from unwanted and inappropriate postings.
Thanks Bobby
