I am only unhappy I didn’t get one from Wally, although I did get one from Golfwidow. Better luck next time? ---

I am fairly new to the board so I don’t know what mystique developed that would make having a Wally sig so desireable but I would think most people can come up with a sig that says what they perceive to be clever or representative of themselves than someone else could. Anyone want to let me in on why having a Wally sig is so desireable? Is this like that Advantage program where you get $.05 for every post bearing a Wally sig or something? ---

Lswote, WallySigs are generally personalized, just for you. Wally takes what he knows about you, and finds/creates a sig that fits you in particular. That’s why they’re cool. I did update mine yesterday, though, by adding a link to my husband’s homepage. Until yesterday, my husband had never actually seen my sig. The raised eyebrow I got from him told me that maybe I’d better make some sort of amends. 🙂 ---

Lswote: WallyM7 is a well-known reg around here. (I was going to say well-respected, but I figured he’d get miffed.) He has been here a long time, and has a reputation for his wit.

I’ve asked, I’ve hinted, I’ve pouted, I’ve thrown tantrums, and I _still_ can’t get a Wally sig… I’m inconsolable… sob… ---
