Can we use asnything another poster has said for our sig? I’ve noticed people asking others if they can use that as their sig? Cause I really though it was almost poetic when Coldfire posted in “his” pit thread, “and now I am a NAzi with a dead hamster up my arse.” Its clever and rolls off your tongue quite well. Just curious, so don’t flame me! ---

Common courtesy dictates that you do indeed ask the poster in question if they mind. And in this case, I’d rather not see _that_ particular sentence turn up in all fora. I do appreciate the compliment, but I don’t think it’s family-friendly enough for, say, MPSIMS. 😉 ---

Ahem. _By posting on this board you grant the Chicago Reader, Inc., and its successors and assigns a nonexclusive irrevocable right to re-use your posting in any manner it or they see fit without notice or compensation to you._ Well, _the Administration_ can use whatever sig they want, or so it seems. 😉 (Otherwise, you’re technically right. Although I’d be surprised to see a lawsuit over a sig line, in all honesty. Then again, I’m not American. :p) ---

As usual, you are right Coldie. But you are kindof peotic sometimes… guess I’m stuck with my usual sig… ---

I wonder if thats a real word; peotic. I meant, poetic of course. But you ARE kindof peotic too. ---
