Not too many reading posts on this reflector who do not know what a 
callsign is.  It is part of reflector courtesy IMHO.

I do not include my callsign on non ham reflector posts, nor do I sign 
with '73'.  In other words, I do not have a signature file that attaches 
automatically - easy enough to do it manually.

In my opinion relying on the email address for identification is not 
sufficient - so many email addresses are cryptic and convey little 
information.

I am proud of my call, and have had it since I moved to Maryland in 1969 
when I had to change it from W8DLB.

73,
Don W3FPR
