What's with the initials?
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?

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

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.

^^^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 .

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
