eSJayDee Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I'll speculate that it's similar to the practice of doing so at the end of an email. (I do neither, BTW.) Perhaps a holdout from the bygone days of snail-mail letters &/or notes where the sender isn't previously identified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minotaur Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I used to do it on another forum b/c when I read another's post, I'd get to the end & say to myself "who wrote that?" Then I'd have to figure it out. On this forum, though, I just look to the left, and there it is. Therefore, I don't do it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minotaur Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Oops. I just realized I do have a signature line. It's been so long since I posted regularly, that I forgot I'd set that up. I'll fix that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDG Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 For Instance every time JDG makes a post he always ends it with JDG. Your freakin name screename is JDG, or when PromoTheRobot signs his post PTR. Just curious, thats all STL B 537732[/snapback] Because its shorter than writing out "J o h n D . G i o r g i s"? Because when you send a letter to someone, its proper to sign your name, even if your name is at the top of the stationary? Because when reading TBD, I ignore the left-hand column and just read through the posts anyways, and so a signature makes it a lot easier to see who is writing what? JDG - Because its tradition......
