Mile High Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 think it's necessary to sign their name after every post. Anyone else ever wonder this? We know who you are if you post, so why do some people find that they have to sign thier screen name if it's already apparent in the top left corner? Can someone explain?

The nerve of the narcissists on this board. THE JOKEMAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone explain? 664817[/snapback] Very few do that. What makes you think it's chronic? I do it on certain occasions - as a sign of sincerity in an apology to a poster who I have wronged, or as an emphasis in response to a particular poster who expressed a remarkable, noble, thought.

Probably an attention grabbing ploy similar to titling a post with a half posed question so someone has to open it to know it wasn't worth opening. Maybe you should email Andy Rooney.

CW 664908[/snapback] You sign your posts with your real initials, like you probably do in emails. I have a tough time thinking PTR signs his daily emails with his tbd handle initials.
