Hmm… Guess my sig keeps changing on old threads. But some people’s don’t. ---

Lots of fancy sigs out today 🙂 Maybe I should add some more bold and italics and math symbols? ---

The sigs that don’t change have one of three possible explanations: First, some folks (like me) never change sig lines. Secondly, sigs from the Olden Days when we were using UBB instead of vBulletin will stay as-is for perpetuity. Third, some folks, like **Satan** , don’t really have true sigs at all; they just manually put that text in every post. You can tell the difference by looking in the thread review below the reply window: Pseudo-sigs like **Satan** ’s will show up there, but real sigs won’t. ---

I’m even considering losing my much-beloved Bubbles quote. (_GASP!_) No offense intended. 🙂 Besides, I had to humor my brother. He’s the only one who can get my parents’ Tandy P.O.S. to work right. 😉
