The lb13 signature thing...

[Southpaw Fanny]

I know your practice of signing an "lb13" at the bottom of every single post you write dates back to the time of our imp infestation, but has that become an ingrained OCD habit that you can't shake, even though we don't need it here? If the author block at the side of the screen isn't enough of an identification, you could always use the signature feature to attach it automatically.

And then I wouldn't have to delete the superfluous signature, every time I'm quoting you!

Why does it have to be deleted? Is that some ingrained OCD habit that you can't shake, even though you don't need to?

When I'm replying to a quote, I take some time to edit the quoted message so that I'm only quoting the relevant portion of the text, and the "lb13" portion is not relevant, since his name already appears at the top of the quote box. This effort is consistent with my stand against gratuitous pyramid building, which fills pages with hundreds and hundreds of lines of duplicated text to add a one-line response to the bottom of it. I'm talking the talk and walking the walk, here!

It's four characters! How many "lb13"s could you have left in before they took up as many lines as this thread has just so far?

And his name does not appear at the top of the quote box for some people who haven't figured out how (or just refuse) to quote from the original post or type ="xxx" into the html tags.

Okie-dokie!

Okay.

Love, Annie

Annie, (sorry that your smiley thingie didn't copy) I don't think you've ever posted anything you were afraid to sign. And even before Lizbit got her own account, you always let us know you were typing for her (& I might mention spelling better than she does, too).

CowardlyPostSigner!

(Unless, of course, you really are one of lb13's Merry Men. Then I apologize.)

I don't think lb would ever pretend he was someone that was born in Pittsburgh...

[MarleysGh0st]

In a post where you remarked about lb's apparent OCD with his signature, you mentioned every time you quote him, you delete the "superfluous signature".

Get it now?

I do. Ha ha!

So, I guess sometimes I don't delete the "lb13" part.

That makes me OCD and a liar!

So this thread is an investment with a long, future payout!

And that's how things can work around here, when lots of people get involved in a question to one individual.



Better than the usual Friday afternoon doldrums, eh?

Ah, but that would make it perfectly anonymous, wouldn't it? Perhaps he's been taking some correspondence courses from THE Estonut's Evil Genius Hut....

I don't get it.

I encourage the use of signatures in all posts whether they're cowardlypostsigners or otherwise. If I MUST wade through those dumbass pyramids, looking for even the tiniest nuggest of anything informative, and I wonder who wrote what, at least I don't have to scroll back up to the top to see who the author is. So sign away.............

That would be assuming that you actually get lb to change his ways. So your premise is flawed from the start. Ha!

PS Note how I edited out the superfluidity in the quote. Every little bit helps (said the farmer who peed into the Arno during the drought)!

But if we sign with fake signatures, you still won't know...

Mr. Marley, do you want me to stop smiling, too?

I would like you to quit sending messages to the back of my eyelids.

I want Annie to always send messages to the back of my eyelids. It makes blinking so MUCH more fun!

Truncating the pyramids is one of my primary campaign planks, DK! If we get enough BBs to endorse it, we can convince tubadave to activate the Bored control to cap them automatically!

One word: Egomania.

I totally agree! Marley's campaign has backfired!

What if he's afraid of those posters that do most of the pyramid thingies?

I'd annoint him King of the World (and maybe do his laundry) if he would do that.

[MarleysGh0st]

He has nothing to fear but fear itself!

I'll be your foot soldier, Marley. Anyone else????

And pray tell, what is the allure, attraction, fun or whatever of the colossal pyramids? Me no get it.

[christie1111]

So along the same lines, should I stop the blatant advertising in my signature?

I am thinkig I will anyway.

But it goes so nicely with my avatar!

[MarleysGh0st]

The funny thing is that beast was still here when I asked my question and then he promptly disappeared. The thread may be several pages long by the time he comes back!

[MarleysGh0st]

That's a different issue that I won't get into now. But at least your signature advertising isn't copied when somebody quotes you, which was my point, way back at the top of this thread.

But it goes so nicely with my avatar!

That it does!

[Jeemie]

I think part of the fun for those people that do it is knowing that it annoys several posters when they make the pyramids.
