Lizzie, I had a trouble remembering names for a long time (and sometimes still do). One thing that helped me is sometimes people would start a thread and ask others to post their names to help get to know them. Perhaps we should do that again with so many newer people here.

I also have to agree with something said earlier that it can make someone look silly if they reply without really reading what they are replying to. For example, someone posts a picture, sharing about a pet that has passed away, telling about the pet and what he/she meant to them.. and you suddenly see a reply "Oh he's cute! How old is he?" It's really advisable to make sure you read a post before you reply
