Lets just say its pretty famous around here, and not in a good way.

eSJayDee Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 I'll speculate that it's similar to the practice of doing so at the end of an email. (I do neither, BTW.) Perhaps a holdout from the bygone days of snail-mail letters &/or notes where the sender isn't previously identified.

It's also a trademark...something to be known for. P-T-R!

Minotaur Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 I used to do it on another forum b/c when I read another's post, I'd get to the end & say to myself "who wrote that?" Then I'd have to figure it out. On this forum, though, I just look to the left, and there it is. Therefore, I don't do it here.
Minotaur Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 Oops. I just realized I do have a signature line. It's been so long since I posted regularly, that I forgot I'd set that up. I'll fix that.
Fezmid Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 I always type CW at the end of my emails, and it just carried over here. CW
macaroni Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 And why does Belinda always leave her initials as .......... NM ......

nick in* england Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 Good one! macaroni. HMMKS 537840[/snapback] I'd leave my initials, but everyone would think I was talking to Belinda. NM
JDG Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 For Instance every time JDG makes a post he always ends it with JDG. Your freakin name screename is JDG, or when PromoTheRobot signs his post PTR. Just curious, thats all STL B 537732[/snapback] Because its shorter than writing out "J o h n D . G i o r g i s"? Because when you send a letter to someone, its proper to sign your name, even if your name is at the top of the stationary? Because when reading TBD, I ignore the left-hand column and just read through the posts anyways, and so a signature makes it a lot easier to see who is writing what? JDG - Because its tradition......
billsfanmiami(oh) Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 Because it helps you pick up chicks... bfmi(oh) ......

Your freakin name screename is JDG, or when PromoTheRobot signs his post PTR. Just curious, thats all STL B 537732[/snapback] because they don't have the education to put some professional title like PHD or CPA so they think they look professional by putting their initials.. soon I will have my own CFA
