    I got my tiny friends from Mark Chapman. They brought me a shiny new copy of The Catcher in the Rye. When can they meet you? They idolize you so I want to become you.

    I have been posting online since 1993-ish. In the old days it wasn't clear who was posting. edo@casbah.acns.nwu.edu (or something) was the only reliable indicator of who I was on usenet. Adding

    "Ed O."

    made it clear and consistent and also broke up the content from the headers in the river of posts.

    I do it out of habit and do it in email and Facebook messages and forum posts.

    it's pointless but people do it out of habit. usually old people, or longtime users of the net who haven't changed patterns in 15yrs.

    Thanks for the answers. It doesn't bother me that people tag posts, it just seems a bit redundant.
