Signing your posts.
I have oftened wondered why people do this. Is it merely an affectation? Do people believe that we are incapable of directing our gaze several centimeters to the left in order to confirm who wrote the post? Are they simply morons?

Re: Signing your posts.
It's probably a habit from e-mails or Usenet.
In fact, it's unnecessary to sign an e-mail (although it get's a bit dodgy when things are forwarded) but I wouldn't be comfortable without doing so.

I do it to piss off people who whine about it
Actually it is a habit from emails and Usenet and one I find pretty difficult to stop. If it really offends you MM, I will try my best.

Look, I know we're short in the brutal and horrible punishments/prizes department, but there's no reason to rub it in.

Re: Signing your posts.
it just underlines that you thought about your post, giving a slightly 'dramatic' tone to it by signing it in the end.

Re: Signing your posts.
Matrim is far too occupied with his study and more so ( I suspect) his girlfriend. I'll message him the pa boards link when I see him on msn in case he had forgotten it.

there is already a thread about this (a year or so old maybe), please don't start multiple threads about the same things.

Re: Signing your posts.
We have a "signature" area - so why would you want to sign and then re-sign?
I agree, it's stupid. Although I do often sign my e-mails - but that's because I don't have an auto-signature at the bottom of them. If I did, I wouldn't sign them.
