Displayed Names

I was wondering if it would be possible to have more than one person as a user from the same e-mail address. My husband and I have one e-mail account for the two of us and therefore we can only have one of our names as the displayed name unless we change it to Dave and/or April Ridenour which is too much to type in when we log in. Since we both use this forum it would be nice to have our displayed name show the actual one that is posting something.

April,

Maybe one of you could get a free email at yahoo or hotmail and use that just for the purpose of signing on.

Good Luck,

Rob

Rob,
I did think of that but was hoping that I could avoid doing that and taking up more space on the free e-mail sites. If we all did that I could see a time when the free sites would no longer be free. I may be wrong but as with anything, if it is free or real cheap to start off with and people take too much advantage of it the provider looks at it and says "well it seems that we are popular now so lets make some money on it" I can't say that I would not do the same thing if it were me in their shoes. The exception being for those that have sponsors that pay for the sites and those who do it for the love of whatever they are showing/doing ie:TKWS and others like them.

I left out the biggest reason - if anyone tried to e-mail me at that address it would not get answered.
