He would have to try a lot harder than that to get by my filter, and him trying harder and varying his little sign-off is exactly what I want him to do. As Elvis says, he either dances like a pet monkey or he gets erased by technology. It’s win-win for me. ---

When I was a kid, there were a lot of boys who, when you told them they were being annoying, would do whatever it was more and more and more, usually until they got the smackdown from an adult. What’s interesting is I can’t think of any girls who did the same, and I can’t think of any female poster with one of these sigs. Perhaps there are many but I have forgotten or ignored them in a surge of confirmation bias. ---

> [@jsgoddess](#): > > I did! Now his says > > Enjoy (because I’m awesome), > Steven 😃 That’s what I don’t get. Just what is he bidding us to enjoy? His post? Well, maybe, if he’d written a particularly entertaining or instructive one. But he does it all the time, including posts with only one or two lines. What the fuck are we supposed to enjoy in those? The resonance of his name? His ineffable presence? It used to make me want to bang my head against the nearest wall every time I saw it. Now though I simply envisage banging _his_ head against the nearest fucking wall and all is for the best again. ---

From the desk of Bill Fish 678 Right on! I consider it a form of top posting. Or is is bottom posting? I can never keep those straight. But, either way I know it is wrong and it pisses me off. Yours truelly, Bill Fish 678 ---

An idea that was born out [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=11283466&postcount=91) causing Shodan to have to explain his humor [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=11283549&postcount=94). ---

Is that OK? > You can do a simple signoff of the form: > > [complimentary close - optional] > [**your name**] > > … at the end of each post. By “complimentary close” we mean some brief valedictory such as “regards,” “peace,” etc. **Please don’t push the envelope.** (Emphasis added.) The name Shodan is already taken by another poster. As you can see by the rule, anyone may use “regards” or any other close. And to be fair, I’ve allowed people to sign Shodan’s name to their posts. You have taken the joke just a bit too far.

Ok, I have an idea. Use the signoff to solve the post count, location issue for guests. Genius, I tell you. With 6000 posts from Puerto Rico Sapo.
