Signing posts with members' names

[weatherlover427]

Why do people do this out of curiosity? Isn't this what SIGNatures are for? To sign off your posts? Not in the posts themselves?

Good question, Joshua. ...It is this sort of question I feel aren't considered worthy of asking on message boards. If I ask "insignificant questions" on other message boards I seem to be some sort of outcast; well I guess you can say I am.

I feel these sort of curiousities at Storm2K are taken more warmly than they are elsewhere... that would lead us into another discussion, that wouldn't be fair in this thread regarding why there is such negativity about this wonderful, growing and all around happy place for tropical weather, general weather and non-weather topics.

Josh - with me, it's just a natural thing. I like to type and so a post feels like a short note to me. I end notes with my name and I began ending posts with my name. Just the way I am I guess.

I did add my sig here - just Mary - but would forget it was added and still sign my name. So at the ends of my posts you'd see:

Mary

Mary

So then I went in and took out the sig. LOL

It does help when a member has a nic that has nothing to do with their first name - example, GalvestonDuck! How would I have ever known her first name was Shawn? Well, I did ask her once....he he

Hope that helps some. And yes, don't worry I'll sign once now. But sometimes I hit the t key and my name becomes Marty, so if I ever do that, please know it's a typo!!!

Your exactly Right Mary Its habit for a lot of people Including mrschad.. Also the signature line dosent mean you have to sign your name. Its also a place for creatism. A quote you live by, or just something that says who you are without actually saying who you are. I know Jenn feels like Mary, signing it her self each time just makes it more "personal" All about preference Josh.. So to answer your question, I guess I would say... Why Not???

[weatherlover427]

No reason not to IMO ... I'm not intending to imply that people stop doing it or else I'll woop em silly (ya know) ...

Josh why don't you just drop the signature routine? This is one of the reasons that you left WxChat... There are more important things to worry about besides this..live life and don't worry about what others do just do what makes JOSH happy.

Proof of one of those responses I was referring to.

We all have different things to discuss and even insigificant ones for most people shouldn't be a problem.

Does it bother you that much???

[Miss Mary]

Hey Chad - I just thought of something funny! If you ever see me signing a post like this...as I do on personal snail-mail notes...

Love,
Mary

Will you point it out to me?!!! Then maybe I need to start using that auto sig feature.

But thanks for confirming why I like to just type my name at the end of each post - personal preference!

Will not take my differences to this site.. There is a PM waiting for you Tom.....

Indeed. Thanks, Aaron.

I like it when someone "tags" their post.
It puts a name with a "handle" or usrename.

Well I personally use the sig for that...but it's a matter of preference...

[NWIASpotter]

Same here. Even though I just started using it, this way I can't forget to put my name. And like others have said, you can put more then just a name. Some people put pics, or different weather banners, anything you prefer.

Maybe... its just a force of habit sometimes, especially if you have to type your name at the bottom of a bunch of documents. I don't, but maybe some people do have real jobs in offices or require a lot of typing that requires putting their names at the bottom of everything they type--letters, memo, etc.

And every other friggin thing there. But it cuts down on the theft and cash screw ups...sometimes

[Rainband]

true

[ColdFront77]

It isn't something that bothers be, however I find this sort of thing (as I mentioned) more an insigificant thing.
There is no reason why this sort of topic shouldn't be asked. We all have different things in mind to post on the off-topic forum.

I find these sort of topics are more tolerable here than they are on other message boards.
