You said sig and I was thinking monniker. My stupid.

However, it still should be a reflection of **your** personality, otherwise you’re just a ramp model. Let it say something about you instead of projecting someone else’s interest.

Well, it’s not on the same level as the proof of Fermat’s last conjecture, but I don’t think it’s against the “tone raising” attitude we like our members to consider in their posts.

What a confusing thread. Seems like you’ve had that one from the beginning.

Well, you’ve been sigged.

FWIW, **FC** , you can have mine (the first bit, at least;)) if you like. I like the line and all, and I’d hate to see it be lost to the sands of time, but I’ve been meaning to do some sig maintenance for a bit now.

Be warned that you’re only allowed one sig at a time-- and that when you change it, it changes _all_ of 'em.

I do like what you’ve got there now. But you could always say something like, oh I dunno, _Do your own damn baking_ if you like puns.

Yeah, for those who don’t understand: this version of vBulletin software makes sig changes globally. The sig you see at the bottom of (for instance) this post is not necessarily my sig as of 11/29/2002. It is my sig as of whatever date you are reading this post.
