Husbands and wives registering as one account

It had been bothering me that someone would register on here as for example "Sam and Mary Smith" instead of 'Sam Smith" registering and then "Mary Smith" registering separately with her own account. I thought, "How will I know who I am leaving a comment for?" Is it for Sam or for Mary. And what if I get a comment or email from "Sam & Mary Smith"? Did they both say it or just one of them? Then I realized ....does it really matter? What's the harm? One person indicated that their spouse never uses a computer so she wanted them both to be represented. Good point! Does anyone else have an opinion about this? What is commonly done on other networking sites? Thanks

  • David - I really appreciate your thoughts. I love your site you put in your profile biblerock.org. And I like your My Space page too. I just invited my old friend Catherine who is also a part of Bible rock I believe and who was in the 7th Corps with me eons ago.

    Thanks for the offer of help on the site. What I like about this type of site is that it is self propagating and self sustaining. Not much for me to do here except hit the Accept button when new members sign on. My wife helps me a little too. All I had to do was put some general content on the Main page. But mostly everybody looks and their own page anyway and that of others.

    It was an idea I have been thinking about and attempting to do for a long time with My Space and Facebook. But Ning seemed simpler to me. The 6th Corps reunion site was what made me finally decide to use Ning although there are others better out there. Based on the demographic of this site I needed to use one that was very simple as Ning is.
  • We thought of this when we choose to sign up like this. We realize that in our society as is, we need to protect ourselves from the deception of the enemy of our soul. With the divorce rates as in the church as high as the world, why not do our best to continue to build on the trust of over twenty years. Linda doesn't go online much, but we feel much better knowing that we can review any of posts or comments sent to either one. By the way, I have never been one to flow with the stream, and even enjoy swimming against the current of thought.
    Commenting for the duo. David LOL

    By the way John I really appreciate what you have done here. I was going to set something like this up after seeing the 6th Corps site. But you came along...ahhh. Need any help let me know.

  • Ha, ha, Erich. You better not decline or your are in for some trouble tonight. biggrin.gif
  • My wife sent me a friend request!
  • Agree with Pam. Selina and I happen to be an Adam & Eve couple. As i said earlier, she's not a great fan of forums (especially because of that 'other' one) :) We've always been a couple where we speak for both of us (99% of the time) !!
  • Ok, took deep breath Pam. Thanks. All lbetter now. biggrin.gif
    Wow, it is great to see you on here by the way! Please come visit us again. We want to visit you too. Ask Hope about it.
  • John, it is okay, just breathe and let people be people. Some couples like to function as "Adam & Eve" some like to function as "Adam" and "Eve." Let them be themselves:)

  • I agree. I don't know why I thought it was such a big deal. Thank you John(nie) and Janet. biggrin.gif biggrin.gif
  • Hi John, I finally caught your email on this. I was thinking of devious ways to get around it, like the JohnJanet Ruiz account., in case it was a list server kind of problem. But as a matter of contacting us - we could just sign off our commuincations by name. Janet's not gotten on yet, so we figured a single account would work. So, from a practical standpoint you're probably stuck with me, most of the time. Activity on our account may plummet. : ) But if it's cool with you I'd just as soon leave it as is. Like John C said, if there's a need, great. If not, maybe this can work the way it is. That way we can both log in when we do and see everything at once.
  • I am one of those who uses the computer and my spouse does not. I think that this issue should follow its own course. It will fix itself. If the spouse wants to join separately (which I cannot understand why) let them. It is really no big deal.
