Could someone explain this Board's position on signature lines? I had assumed that they were not welcome, but then I noticed that Max is now using one. Is this a shift in policy, or is it something reserved for those who have made a certain number of posts?

I have several times seen members recommending not using signatures. Only thing I can think of is that they think it makes replies take up space enough that there are fewer messages per page.

i think the main idea is that, however clever or entertaining a signature line is, it's only funny/clever/etc the first time around, or maybe the second...and after a while they can be just plain irritating hi, ASp!
max stated a week or so ago that -- for our convenience -- he would be adding a URL link to his site, to which he has recently been adding some more material.
it's a welcome exception to the unwritten rule =)

no way no way no way.  and btw, i noticed that nobody bothered to congratulate me on my elevation to "ADDICT" ~ i always knew loanwords from german would come in handy somehow. i'm still down some 280 posts, but i'll let the rest come naturally.

I'm with caradea (BTW, congrats ). I find Max's signature line immensely convenient, so add my vote for retaining it!

Thank you all for explaining the situation, and thanks for the link to your site, tsuwm. I shall subscribe as soon as I have set up a replacement address, having just been told by Google that they are discontinuing support for "my-deja.com" accounts.

I've never actually kicked my cat. You can ask my older brother about that. He chases our younger cat, and wonders why she hates him.
I would be insulted, but decided it would be easier to explain than get really mad.

good, because I decided it would be easier to insult you than try to figure out why *I should know if "we ever [got my] word sent to [your] new address".

Ok. Did you ever get that PM, asking about it? Or did I forget some piece of information you needed?

sorry, I must have missed it. you can resubscribe through the normal path at the website -- I haven't seen any rejections from your old address either; thus my confusion.

I'll try. It'll probably tell me to screw around with "mailing preferences", though.

with the back and forth about your photo on the galleria, shouldn't that be "the folks in hell would like a mug of hot tea"?Congratulations, I enjoy your posts! I'm hiding this because I do not like my lateness in congratulating you, to show

tsuwm, is your subscription an autoresponder? I emailed the address given yesterday, and haven't received any notification yet. May I ask you to add vernoncompton@myself.com to your list?

Caradea, don't feel left out ... I managed to get to Pooh-Bah by sorta' sneaking up on it!
If you don't mention your ascendency and you just keep on keeping on and do not worry about the number of posts -- next thing you'll know : Pooh-Bah!
Belated Congratulations on your graduation.

Dear Max ... please leave in your sigline ... for the computer idiots (me) it's a great help. Dear Heart, you wrote : I shall ask the High Priestess to intercede for me, to gain absolution. Never fear, it's not necessary - witness the answers! ...
I'm sure many wondered but it took a brave stranger to ask the question (Bravo Vernon Compton.) Stay with us VC!

Well, put me down as really appreciating having the links to Max's and Tsuwm's sites in their signatures. It is a great convenience and I appreciate it.
