(Hint: The answer to that is a backpedal and apology.) ---

I dunno how to tell you this, **Fiver** , but the idea of somebody named after a rabbit going upside my head isn’t the scariest thought I’ve had today. So how 'bout you make that a cash prize instead? ---

I just changed mine, so revel in the novelty. Plus, I don’t often use it anyway, so there 😛 And **Smeghead** , I’ve quoted yours in casual conversation and gave you credit. (The Rimmer quote, not the Adams quote.) Robin ---

**matt\_mcl** : > [@](#): > > > [@](#): > > > > Attendez-vous! > > “Wait for yourselves”?? Oh crap. I thought I was using the French for “achtung!” Serves me right for trying to get fancy. **andros** : I’m sick and tired of **cmkeller** , **Esprix** , **Smeghead** and **Jack Batty** ’s sigs, but you say I owe YOU an apology? How does that work? Self-centered much? ---

Oh. You see, I was assuming you were making a general case against unchanging sigs. I suppose that since you’re not bugging over other’s sigs you must have something personal against those three-no-wait-it’s-fout people? ---

My unchanging sig isn’t good enough for your wrath? I feel all hurt and stuff. I might have to pout. ---

Spiritus Mundi- No offense intended, but I do wish you’d quote properly in your sig. ---

It isn’t a quote. If it were, it would be attributed appropriately. ---

Jeez, Fiver, if you want people to change their sigs once in a while, you have to give them a reason to. Offer someone, say, five dollars (to fit your SN, of course) every time they change their sig. But no… here I am, after a half-dozen sig changes, and I don’t get no respect. No respect at all. ---

So…you’re only half-pissed at me then, right? I mean, i only change the bottom half of my sig, and even now, the top part of that is probably going to stay around for a while. Please, tell me what to do! ---

Okay, I’ve had this sig since april. is that fresh enough for you? Or should I go back to the sig with the dirty word in it that I loved so well? Should all of us e-mail you on our sigs, so we know when you deem them appropriate, fresh, wonderful, and new as opposed to respectful and honored? Or at least give us some guidelines or something. ---

I also refer you, **Twisty** , to [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=1349221#post1349221) as a possible link for your sig. At the moment, however, I’m picturing **Esprix** reading the last few posts and saying, in his best Eric Cartman voice, “I hate you guys so very, very much.” 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cmkeller-esprix-smeghead-attendez-vous/83755.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cmkeller-esprix-smeghead-attendez-vous/83755.md?page=3)
