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.

When I write something worthwhile, I don't receive gratification, but maybe that's because I occasionaly spam and people believe my new post will be spam, I see...

Put it this way, I don't spam my name all over my posts, and yet, everyone knows who I am.

Personally, I'd rather people remembered me because I said something useful or meaningful. Not because I spammed my name into the back of their subconscious.

Because in the real world I live a sad, meaningless existence...

Though I live in a nice house and have a nice girlfriend, I'm not complete.

Power corrupts, or something.

Status and notability or something equals = power. Not actual writing ability, wit or wisdom, strangely enough.

But why do you seek approval and validation from people on an internet forum?

If it's written twice, people have a better chance of remembering me. I want people to remember me so that when I log on in a few months and only a few of you are left, you'll recognis me.
