Could those of you who have signatures go back to your profiles and delete them? As an old timer, who isn't even an old hand yet, I'm getting some private messages about how annoying these signatures are (and I agree) so I figured I'd alert The Man Behind the Curtain and those who use the signature file that we don't really need to see a good quote after one or two times (twice? ) Thanks. Some have greatness thrust upon them.

I pointed out to someone (via private) that I thought the "signature" field was meant for a 'signature' (as for instance see Bingley) and not a permanent quote... got a scathing reply -- but no posts since. that's not really what I had in mind.

hmmm, would that more aptly be described as a diasyrm, or a diatribe? as one of the two (or are there more?) offending parties, i'd like to proffer my apologies to those who have been annoyed (50 times, no less ) by my sig line. do i get any brownie points for removing it within an hour of your first request, anna, on the other thread? seriously, i suspect that some of us newbies may have been confused because a 'signature line' outside of AWAD is by definition more than simply your name in a different font. without exception [somewhat esoteric giggle at Jackie emoticon] all of the addicts/old hands/etc have been most gracious in welcoming me and other neophytes to this board, which is not unappreciated. have patience; we'll get the hang of it btw, is the little flower thing by my name another faux pas? i suspect i could deracinate it as well by deleting the ICQ number from my profile. so much to learn....

Bridget96, that was noble of you to 'fess up. I'm very sorry that I appeared to be an irascible old curmudgeon; I usually manage to keep my real self hidden. Hopefully she'll go back into hiding before long. Anna, what say--want to join me and we'll drown our sorrows? 'Scuse us, folks--we'll be back. Y'all go ahead and take the opportunity to get more comfortable, and we'll try not to be so ornery when we return.

ICQ is an instant messenger that was begun by a company in Israel, but has since been bought by AOL.
ICQ members are primarily identified with a number and their name can be customized otherwise, so there can be more than one person with the name Princess.

Dear AnnaS So THAT's how they do it. I have a signature now and this is a try to see if it works ... you may be sorry you told me how to do this ... but I promise no repeated "quotations." Wow wow

As a Usenet junkie, where sig. lines are common, I was very grateful for a discreet private message when I first started posting here, explaining the accepted practice among this community. Having read this thread, I am tempted to include a "proper" closing salutation sort of signature in my profile, but will wait and see how such an idea is received. Salaam alaikum

..."old curmudgeon" - Gee, I can't wait 'til a comment like "Repetition is the Whetstone of Boredom" gets me a title like that (Hi, Marty)...I will apologize to Chickie (are you still there?) for rubbing my heart off my sleeve, however, it's a big world out there, and some of us have foolishness thrust upon them!
