Why do people put their initials after every on of their posts? Does not the large username to the upper left give us a big enough clue as to the identy of the poster?
What's the point?

i solved this dilemma by making a handle out of my initials.
so i dont have to sign anything here

Force of habbit.....who knows why we do it.

why do people get piercings and tatoos?
to be different.

He most likely aimed this at me.
If I'm wrong, it would have been a safe assumption.
It's force of habit. In my case anyway.
People sign emails at the end, what's the point if the person already knows it's you? Coz you want to.

I'm going to start a petition requiring Jackie Malfoy to add a dancing banana after all of her JM! posts.
That's totally how I picture her.....as a dancing banana
Alpha Centauri
Thank heavens I'm not alone in that...

It wasn't "aimed" at anyone, I have noticed it and wondered what was the point.
ANd didn't your parents teach you it's never safe to assume?

"He most likely aimed this at me.
If I'm wrong, it would have been a safe assumption."
^^^Me. Being that I'm probably the most prolific user of the signature initials, it was a safe assumption. Made all the safer by the fact that we had JUST been interacting on another thread. In spite of this I said "If I'm wrong..." because I accepted that I might be.
So...
Didn't your parents teach you to look before you leap?

Sometimes I think you like to argue just for the sake of arguing. I saw a post by you, a post by JM and another post so I thought I'd ask. Take a pill and relax, no attack was initiated or intended.

NEWS FLASH: astronomers have concluded through extensive research and exploration that the universe does NOT revolve around AC....sorry buddy.
seriously though, many people use initials. did you stop to think that MAYBE your use of initials simply reminded him of this topic which puzzles him? unless you are just more content with thinking its all about you.

"Sometimes I think you like to argue just for the sake of arguing. I saw a post by you, a post by JM and another post so I thought I'd ask. Take a pill and relax, no attack was initiated or intended."
No attack was intended from me either. You made the sarcastic/humourous (I hope) comment of "Didn't you parents teach you never to assume?" and being that I didn't fully assume, I made the same kind of comment back.
Does the joke stop when it's reversed back onto you then? Not trying to argue. Just returning the same kind of joke that was aimed at me. It's all in fun.
"seriously though, many people use initials. did you stop to think that MAYBE your use of initials simply reminded him of this topic which puzzles him?"
Yes, as stated in my above post:
" Being that I'm probably the most prolific user of the signature initials, it was a safe assumption. Made all the safer by the fact that we had JUST been interacting on another thread."
Because of our other thread interaction, I thought I could possibly have sparked his interest in the topic.
People can always take giving jokes out, it's the taking them back that people dislike.
My comment back at Kharma was in humour. Jeez.
On the universe comment, Alpha Centauri is actually a universal and galactical term

why do some people have sigs... ?? isn't that the same thing as putting your initials at the end of your post, but using a different format...???
PVS
damn good point kirk
so if you have all of these:
1-handle
2-initials
3-picture sig
4-written sig
then you must be afraid of losing your identity
-PVS
-thats my name...PVS
-no...seriously its PVS
-in case you forgot during reading all this, i am the person who posted this.
-...and by "the person" i mean PVS...myself
Alpha Centauri
Just remember where the trend started people.
Just remember where it started....
-AC <----There.

Jackie Malfoy

Silver Stardust
Haha, I could TOTALLY see Mojo Jojo saying something like that...
I love Powerpuff Girls.
Some people just like to sign their posts with their initials, nothing more to it.
Jackie Malfoy

Hahahah I think AC just does it because he knows he is the most important person in the Universe
Oh and yopu people probably think I will now sigbn my initials at the end of this post but I won't for two reasons first I don'T want to ever be relatesd witrh any of my posts, since its most likely that I wrote Bullshit.
And secomd because it is ****ing stupid. Everyone that does that is a moron, exceptr for AC of course.

Silver Stardust
I don't do it because hardly anyone even calls me by my username or initials anymore.
