Well if you don't identify when you come aboard, how does the gang know who 
you are.  That don't need to be in the rules.

Wayne,
Actually as others have said, it's only when you actually end a conversation
and every ten minutes.  There is no requirement to ID when you come up on a
particular freq.

I usually follow similar procedures as you do depending partly on the length
of transmissions.
