I never use mine. I just updated it. Since I was having fun with my ‘Ask the enology student’ thread, I figured I’d throw a link to it in my sig. Which I’ll still never use, but what the hell. Here it is. ---

This will be a trip down memory lane for me - I can’t even remember the last time I used my sig. ---

I like Captain Socks’ sig. Here’s mine. It’s past time for me to change it; I’ve had this one for over a year. ---

I don’t have a sig anymore but once was curious enough about a fellow doper to [start a thread about it.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=343921) His sig: > [@](#): > > “Ludwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand. Paul Ehrenfest, carrying on the work, died similarly in 1933. Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics.” - David L. Goodstein “States of Matter” I never did find out who that was… ---

I just added a signature about a week or so ago (is it obvious I’ve been watching my NewsRadio DVDs?) and couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t displaying. I _swear_ I’ve never seen that checkbox down there before. ---

I’m thinking of changing mine to something a bit more humorous, but I can’t think of anything off the top of my head so I’ll just show my current one. ---

I have an official, ‘formal’ one (found many, many lines underneath my name), but I prefer not to use it unless I’m signing State Documents or anything behalf of the Terran Federation when dealing with the Andromedans. I find the Andromedans tend to hate the word ‘Afghanistan’, confusing it with their own word ‘Affghharnistarn’ meaning “I wish a giant Motaran Nebula would cloud your wife.” And yes, I’ve had the same damn one for nine stinkin’ years.
