I've answered Andrei's question over here.

So how come most members get to use some cute little handle ("TripperSlipperDripperGipper" or "Flightsy") and I'm stuck, with my real, long, boring name? Did I forget to check the "gimme a cool nickname" box?

Thanks

Yep, we need to change your name pronto.

Only minor celebrities (or those who drink their lunch at the M&M) use thier real names.

It also helps to have a name that can be spelled and is shorter than a line ...

Send a polite email to jessica at bootsnall dot com and she will make it happen.

Okay, either I'm missing something, or Soundbyte figured out how to change the display name already... If you're still wanting to change something, send me a private message and I'll fix 'er up fer ya, nice and purdy.

Ciao,
Jessie

Ah, Jessie - we newbies have secret powers...

Actually, Court was kind enough to handle it ...

Hi! I need your support!

New in this forum I hope to find here some help.

I found a comment od Dimitri Fernando in your Sri lanka insider list and tried to contact him but the mentioned email adress doesn´t work.

I know from a german forum about his Sri Lanka article "Haputale - In the Blosoom of the Hills".

Myself I´m creating a homepage for the village Haputale and like to share informations with him.

Is there somebody out there who can give me the correct email adress or contact him and send me reply?

Hope you can help me,
Oliver

How can we ensure the qualification of the insiders? I mean...can I check up their enrolling information? Or, I can hardly trust them!!

Essentially, you are correct: an insider could be anyone.
We don't actually visit their homes and look at their CD collection before we call them insiders.

However, there has never been a complaint about an insider.

Ask an insider a specific question. Read their response. Judge for yourself.

You are telling me that an insider might not even be an registered user in the first place,right? No wonder I cann't add an insider as my buddies...He is my best friend&workmate.

An insider must first be a member of BootsnAll.

In addition, we have ways of weeding out those who are only here to advertise their guide service or travel agencies.

Thanks for your generous help,BTW I sent you a private message ,you got that?I wanna make sure that it works out.
