You do know that now everyone is going to sign their post w/ their nick just to spite you...

And... REPOST. ;)

But for the most part, they do it out of habit I believe.

It's just in case people don't notice the blaringly obvious icon and name to the left of their comments.

I always have done, probably always will do. Take a look at almost every one of my posts, and I did right from the very start, even back when my nick here was ConfusedBW.


It also helps if i'm at a friend's place, and post something from their account if they're already logged in.

This forum is like real time email. It says who it's from, and who replied and when.

I'm not doing it just to annoy you in this thread, but I've always done it. Just like signing emails, or a letter or something.


I dunno.

What gets me is when people repeat IN THEIR ANSWER an endlessly growing thread quoting all the people who have answered and then adding their 2 cents!

EDIT; for pyonir who is kidding, i think
