I thought of that.  That would at least helps the "names and faces" problem.  
It still doesn't help the "introductions" issue, but it would help a new 
member to introduce himself to people with whom he had actually been 
corresponding.  It becomes
"Hi, XXXXX.  I'm YYYYYY.  Thanks for that ZZZZZZ."
instead of
"Hello.  I'm YYYYY.  It's my first meeting, and I'm mingling."

The second one reminds me too much of an old "Kids in the Hall" skit.
"Well, it *certainly* is nice to meet *you*....I'm not beeing *sarcastic.*  
I've talked this way aaall my *life*."
