From Jo's excellent summary in FAQs: Signature Lines: The system allows you to add a signature. In the past, some of us have used our favourite quotes but we've found that this becomes distracting, after seeing the same line several times and we prefer not to use them.© JoJo Publications Unlimitedhttp://wordsmith.org/board/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=announcements&Number=17018

This discussion of YARTs is itself a YART, and a recent one at that. "Those who haven't been around that long... etc., etc.
I really don't think this kind of thing merits a discussion on the board. A polite note back channel will do, and will be respected.
Thanks, IP

Defining "merits" is a job for the board collectively, as is clearly the case for "respects" that are demanded as opposed to earned... (as you have shown quite nicely by pointing out the YART of a YART of a YART  )... of course "healthy disrespect" has nothing to do with this! I've come to believe that YART calling is "useless", one should expect topics to be repeated, but when it comes to whole threads it is in the best interest of all to point out publicly the repetition... and if you feel that criticism is best left in private, it is clear that you have not taken the time to dig into the history of ALL the threads here. Just Lieder?

To be asked publicly to stop using the signature field is not a problem. Its a small thing to ask, and if it's a bother to the group, it's no bother to fix it. As to respect and merits, it might be well to move that over to the "information and announcements" heading under a new thread. If these are issues that need discussion, I suggest that this discussion could be collegial. [with best intentions]

IP quoth If these are issues that need discussion, I suggest that this discussion could be collegial. [with best intentions]If you've ever been an academic, as several of us on the board have been or still are, you would know that collegiality is thinly disguised total war ...

> Tailors tie one on.
Why does "tie one on" mean drunk?
Afterthought : Maybe - too many in me so tie one on me?
