> [@FAQ - Rules for Posting at the Straight Dope Message Boards](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/faq-rules-for-posting-at-the-straight-dope-message-boards/369395/14):
>
> \*\*I like to sign my name at the end of each of my posts. Is that OK? \*\*  
> You can do a simple signoff of the form:
> 
> [complimentary close - optional]  
> [your name]
