Interview credit

The next time an interview is done, how about showing the persons name when asking the question instead of "DriverHeaven".

While I appreciate it's a DH interview, giving credit to the people that asked the questions isn't too much to ask .... is it?

We have done this before but the process for interviewing has changed, why? well these interviews or parts of them get linked on other sites and the reason for using "driverheaven" is to ensure people reading it on other sites know the source with every question. If they see "bob" or "eric" asking the question then the source is less visible.

Driverheaven in this instance as its a public interview, means the site and its community, I doubt anyone will be offended because their particular name is not tied to a question - we all know the sources from the original thread.

It also makes it look better as an article as compared to a chat log, wich it typically isn't anyway. The questions are often also refined by DH staff before put before the interviewed. It would be different if there ever was a realtime IRC chat with some representatives, but after having partaken in some of those a while back I'm not sure that such are something to aim for either.
