I propose that we suspend use of siglines for the balance of the month, as a salute to our friend.

And then I intend to party hearty in Vegas, in his honour.  
If we didn’t I’m sure we’d all be labeled Putzes!

Maybe all us American friends should spell words like color and humor with a ‘u’ too remember his Canadian ways. 🙂

I, too, shall party in Vegas in his memory. I’ll lift a glass of tequila for him.  
I miss you, you **Putz!** ☹

Great idea, BratMan! I will.

I second the sig line notion.

It’s a pity we can’t put, like, black bands with “wallyM7” on the sides of our posts.

Do you think this might be a bad time to ask Amy if the Putzcycle is still for sale?

I like the no sigs idea, but my vote shouldn’t count - I haven’t started using one yet. Guess I was hoping for a Wally orginal. ☹

It’s not exactly a black band, but for the rest of the month, I will post only this as a sig.

No sig line in honor of Wally… I like it and I’ll do it!

I’m in. I’ll extend it personally as no sig line _and_ no smilies for 30 days, but you all should stay sig-free for your own personal preference.
