What is with the recent increase in posters feeling the need to add their name to the bottom of a post? Your name is already shown next to the post - you are not important enough to need to reinforce your brand!

I say stop doing it!

It's gone silly. What I find really strange is people who add the same comment at the end of a post.

Go Dockers.

I find this sorta comeback line much more annoying than people signing their name at the bottom of their posts. Especially considering the "<insert witty name> board" type comments have increased 1000% over the last 3 weeks.

I agree, it seems that this comeback is a favourite amongst the newbie (September 03 onwards) brigade...

Agreed. Perhaps I should have inserted :tongue in cheek: next to my post.

And Zeke, I can assure you, that as an internet forum veteran, I find it rather irritating when senior members believe that they have earned extra credibility merely because of their longer membership.

I'm not sure which is sadder, the fact that you are an online forum veteran, or the fact that you let yourself get irritated by other posters...

;)

Well, as for letting one's self getting irritated by other posters... You're the one who seems to have an issue with newbies. ;)

But all I'm saying is that I find it irritating (not exceptionally so, just a peeve of mine) when people seem to think that because of a rather insignificant tenure they have earned more credibility. Whether that's in real life or "cyber" life, I don't really think it matters.

Whiney bald **** board.
 
i have always signed my name at the bottom and always will.

ok, i'll give an appropriate example.. emails..

it says your name at the top that the mail has come in..

yet everyone says, regards, or from or whatever...

just a like plain mail where it says their name on the back of the envelope but they still sign it at the bottom

when you write, your's sincerely at the end of the letter.. are you up yourself?

i don't think so.. and i'll damn well put whatever i like in my posts :D
