Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 01-21-2005 09:08 PM                        Chances are that we know who is making the post by the giant, bolded name beside it. So why do some people feel the need to sign their posts? It's not a letter or even an e-mail. In fact, it's almost like signing every entry in an Instant Message or Chat Room conversation.

I would sign my initials on everything if they were PPK or something.  |  IP: Logged
