I was trying to make a point. **Phlip** , I did do a search. must have missed it. what can I say? **GaWd** , nice try. I’m an ape girl. and as for you “not giving a shit”, that so reminds me of a selfish driver, who thinks the world should revolve around him, because god dammit, that’s the way he drives and too fucking bad if he is obnoxious. grow up already. learn to be considerate of others. This board is not soley here because for YOU. Even though I have had a minor disagreement or two with the way some things are run here, the fact is, it’s NOT “the bad news baboon” board. nor may I add, is it “GaWd’s” board either. All I am asking for is some consideration for other posters. **FireUnderpantsBoobs** ’s point is one I very much agree with. I’ve seen that on more than one occasion. It reminds me of someone going to a funeral with a T-Shirt that says “lighten up already!” > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Photog_ > Ummmm…for the most part, there is. In your profile, you enter your sig(nature). Regardless of how long it is, you only have to type it once (unless of course you wish to change it). Then, when you post, you click the little box next to “Show Signature”\*\* that’s my point exactly…you **have** to click a box to put the sig. so it is an effort on poster’s part to put it in after each and every post. ---

Long sigs have always been a pet peeve of mine. I also dont enjoy reading posts that look like haiku and have no punctuation and no capitalization. i no longer bother to complain, i just assume they are stupid ---

I think people should make their sigs more entertaining to me, cause dammit, if there’s one thing this board is about, it’s about entertaining ME!! ---

Anyway, **Dale the Bold** , just how many sympathy threads have you seen me participate in? ---

Hey Munch, I have some business ideas I’d like to run by you. You seem to know what everyone thinks or might do, so it’s probably cheaper and faster to just ask you than to conduct some scientific research. Thanks for your opinion, though :rolleyes: So what do you think everyone will think of this new song I wrote? The ass goes munching one by one, hoo-rah, hoo-rah. The ass goes munching one by one, hoo-rah, hoo-rah. The ass goes munching one by one, and **munch** stops to express the opinions of everyone and we all go blah blah blah… FM [Sig deleted in the interests of not making people not laugh] ---

Meh. I just recently made a sig. It’s one of those short stupid ones that means something only to me. ---

Long sigs are fun. Sometimes the best thing on a thread, like this one. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sigs-stop-it-already/94559.md?page=1)
