No, this isn’t about if you’re tired of reading them.
Some dopers have cute little signoffs. “Regards, Shodan” and Vox’s little thing are two examples. My question is to those dopers who use them: don’t you get tired of writing it? When you log into the dope, do you just copy and paste that signoff, or has it become automatic to type the whole thing out?
Are you ready for a lot of posts with Doper signoffs?
When I first started posting here I signed off with Jim in almost every post and often with a little something tangentially related in () after Jim.
The Jim part was done without thinking but I gradually used it less and less as posters occasionally complained and now complain a lot. Also for the games I am running in the game room, signing the posts would actually disrupt the thread.
As to why I started it was for two reasons. I was already use to signing almost all of my Emails and notes and letters. The other reason had to do with my name change where I wanted the Jim in my user name but ended up with the What Exit? I like so much. It was suggested I either put the Jim in my location or just continuing to use it as my sign-off would suffice.

Nope.
I wouldn’t know.
Eat shit,
Somebody else.
You do realise that if you go to your profile, then “User CP” and then “Edit Signature”, you can get the boards to automatically add it, right? 
I try to include my full name each time, and yes, I do type it.

But what about those who don’t put it in the ‘edit signature’ but in the body of the post?
You misunderstood what this thread is about. It is not about signatures but rather the sign-offs at the bottom of the post that some users use. These few repetitive lines are sufficient to get some posters panties in a very tight bunch.
I used to end my medically related posts with “QtM, MD” to add a little authority to what I was saying.
But I indeed got tired of it.
I bet you don’t have a lot of stuff with monograms.
They’re not going to get tired of doing something that yields such a great return on their investment, in the form of attention. I’d be willing to bet that after his few short months (or however long) here, compared to my time here which is getting scary close to a decade, far more people know Vox Imperatoris than me. And he likes it that way. And I guess maybe I like it that way too, so we’re all happy. Why change?
It’s really not a lot of work to type a couple extra words.

Or just two characters, as in my case.

Thaaaaat’s my name toooo.
Whenever I go out
The people always shout
There goes that thing you wrote.
Seriously, though, I often have to delete my name, after I’ve typed it at the end of a post, simply because it’s normal for me to sign my name after I write things. I type dozens of messages a day, and I sign most of them with my name. The dope is one of the few places I don’t.
Aha!
I been waiting for you to get in on this discussion, Fudge Man.
I got my eye on you!
