    I know it's been brought up before, but I still do wonder, what is the point of signing your post in this message board format?

    Is it a seniority thing? I've been posting on various board formats since 1993. We still used hamsters running on wheels to generate a connections back then.

    Is it a pride thing? We can read your screen name. There is no doubt who is authoring the post.

    Is it a narcissistic thing? If so, why not print your own name, instead of an anonymous name?

    It has always confused me. Compulsive post taggers, please help me out here.

    Tags are a gang thing.

    I don't really understand it either, but I'm young. My dad signs "Dad" at the end of his text messages. LOL

    I've been staring at your poast for almost 2 hours and it hasn't moved. It doesn't seem very mobile. Maybe it's dead?

    Cool, I've never been anyone's idol before. My usual role is to be an example for parents to point out - "if you don't stop doing that, you'll end up like that man".

    Are you sure no one has ever idolized you? I know a lot of people who idolize you and they'd like to meet you. All my tiny friends are asking right now. How could this be arranged?

    Leave $2 million in tiny bills behind the 45th tree as you enter Forest Park. My people will be in touch.
