Sorry, no can do. No functional scanner, and my signature doesn’t have any “i’s” I can dot w/ little smiley faces. Actually, I can’t “cute-up” my name with even the most drastic mispellings. Nah, can’t do it. I’m already too bland in too many ways. Sulking, Veb ---

I have done design for a living; one would think I’d be able to sign my own name… Apparently not. I will send you the attempt done by my trained ape, ReCount, who is coming along smartly. Actually, I’m thinking of letting him make investment decisions for me. He’s done quite well in the last six tests, I think it’s time for him to play with other people’s money. ---

My scanner is broken. Forge my name. Try to think like me, and the sig should come naturally. ---

You really, really want to be involved in this one! If all goes as planned, I should be able to tell you what the mystery is all about by the end of the first week of December. We have finished Phase One of Operation Evil, and I would like to get Phase Two: Collection of the Signatures done on Wednesday, my time. So let’s put the deadline at 3 am, Central US time, to submit signatures. And of course, if you don’t have access to a scanner, or are really lazy, I am still happy to forge one for you. Just let me know in this thread or in e-mail. Hoo Hah! ---

To all of those who sent me sigs or are allowing me to sign for them. So far, I’ve got around 50 names, but I want at least a hundred. I know it’s a leap of faith to let somebody you don’t know use your signature (even if it isn’t your real name) but I know in my heart of hearts that every member of this board would want to participate if only they new what this was about. Ooooh, isn’t keeping a secret the worst? 😉 BTW, a few people have said they would send sigs, but haven’t. Slackers! Hop to it! ---

Okay, usually I’m against constantly bumping one’s own thread, but dammit people I want at least 100 signatures! Believe you me, when you finally find out what I’m up to, you’ll kick yourself if you don’t participate. ---

**tatertot** go ahead and forge my sig. A big D and the rest needs to be almost illegible. I have been told I have the handwriting of a doctor, but my sig would even insult a doctor.
