Signatures are fine as long as they're no longer than a few lines. Anything over 4 or so is just a pain.

Some of the sigs offer more laughs than the average joke thread. I find it entertaining what kind of crap people like to put down there (hmmm, that sounded kinda bad...)

I just turned off sigs here so I don't see them any more.

I put my username after posts mainly because when I'm reading a thread, I don't even bother to look at the avatar/username when I am reading, so I don't expect anyone else to, thereby making people see who posted what they just read.

Plus I have always done it in forums, it's just habbit now, I find my fingers just automatically doing it! ;)

I feel bad posting here because of that elongated and exceptionally retarded post. No one should have to scroll through that nonsense. :'( *tears*

Well, since you've got signatures off, here's what I have in mine:

half minus one - Free Shinerburke! - John Edwards 2008 - 15/0/0 heat

BarneyFife: I love bad news from Iraq!! The marines in Iraq are murderers. I have no sympathy for them.
jpeyton: [Gunmen Kill 22 Police in Attacks in Western Iraq]. More power to them.

Hey, not a bad idea. I think all start inserting my sig in to my posts for those suckers who have sigs turned off.
