After posting, you then feel the need to repeatedly put your name at the bottom of each and every post.
Do you think we're in any doubt as to who wrote your post with your name at the top left of entry?

Do you think it marks you out as a cool individual, somehow different to others?
Do you think it adds gravitas to a post?

I don't get it, why do you insist on doing that?
"It's a signature" - no, it's pointless as your signature is your name anyway with a tagline.

It's stupid.
The only time it should be permitted is after a long post/story/spoof.

I really don't see the point.

Er... I dunno. Actually, come to think of it, it's pretty useless. I know that I don't bother reading all the names on the left, and if you're scrolling down quickly it's easier to read. Well, as it's you goaty, I'll stop doing it.

Oh and by the way, does Edgy still have his axe?

Also, do you remember my other name? Prawn Star? Hmm...

Obviously, it's ok doing it at the end of some really long post you've done.

The argument is though; is when somebody does this:

"Yea, I agree with that other guy

--
ED"

See? The pointlessness of it all befounds many.

...whatever that's supposed to mean.

I only do it after a longish post and I like to write my name as -kyz˛˛- which looks good normally but not as a name.

thats why!

I do it at the end of reviews and longish posts:

Thanks for reading, Ant.

Just something I've always done.

I see the Life Forum gang have come over to have a pop at everyone here...humm.

Whoops... Im one of the few who put their name at the end of a post, not for recognition or to spam, just because I did. I did it once and then it became a habit; quite like smoking; although, I didn't know it bothered people this much...

*sobs* I was only trying to be polite...
*sobs some more* Why does this always happen??? Why?
*sobs*

Ok, if it bothers people this much I'll try and cut down on it, but I shouldn't have to stop doing what I want to do if I want to do it. Its not written anywhere where it says Im not allowed too...
But, I'll try

*Now I musn't sign the end of this post...*

*No I musn't... tries to take mind off it... Oohhh naked ladies...*

You'll get more recognition, NOT from adding your name to the bottom of every retarded post you do; but by actually typing some good stuff, or something contraversial (
