Testing testing one two. Sure it may be out of context, and Skip might beat me up, but I’ve never had praise I could deem sigworthy till now 🙂 ---

Geez, if I’d have known that this is all it’d take to be quoted in a sig… well, then… **Max Carnage** , I _know_ I love you. ::sappy grin:: What? You don’t think I’m being serious? Sheesh. The ingratitude. ---

Yeah, sigs have really fallen out of favour what with bandwidth considerations and all… Pity. ---

I don’t like it when all people have for sigs is praise from other people. It seems so… so… artificial. ---

Well I came to test my new new sig and see that sigs are retroactive. That’s just too weird. Anyway, Algernon, I’m willing to use two out of context quotes in my sig! Enjoy! ---

Sigs should be like lingerie or after-dinner speeches: Short and sweet. We ask that you confine yourself to 4 lines and/or spaces total; if you need more than that, it’s not a sig, it’s a short story. Please be considerate and only use it once per page of any thread. Maybe someday when we have more server to play with we can be less restrictive, but as I have said before (and will doubtless say again, maybe even before the end of the day), it’s all about doing the most and the best with the limited computer power available to us. your humble TubaDiva Administrator ---

It seems so… so… artificial. \*\* Amusingly ironic, Dan… love your humor! 🙂 (no, I’m not trying to get inclusion in your sig… why do you ask? 😉 ) No, indeed… much better to just take great lines from [a good friend’s blog](http://spoz.blogspot.com), and use those as your sig instead. (I swear, **SPOZ** should pay me a publicity fee or something similar, since this is the third time today that I’ve linked to his blog on this forum 😃 ) Like my new sig, by the way? 🙂 F\_X ---

My first post ever. Does it work? Well, the blurb said this area was the place for practice posts but there didn’t seem to be a specific thread for it… 😕 ---

It didn’t work. We can still see you! I’m kidding! I’m kidding! Anyway, you did the right thing, **cajela**. There’s not necessarily a specific thread for practicing; you can start your own. (Though people don’t always realize they can check their sigs by previewing and then not actually submitting the post - previewing while checking the appropriate box will show your sig on preview. Why, if we got rid of practice posts and mindless-bickering posts, the server would zip and zoom and fly all over the place, quick like a bunny rabbit.) ---

By the way - **Flam.** 🙂 Thanks. **Tuba** , there’s this guy named **Arnold Winkelreid** or something who has a longish sig. Might wanna look into it, maybe slap him around a little. ---
