Daveyboy said:
can't believe this thread even exists

It exists because somebody has an annoyance which they wish to tell us about, nothing wrong with that?

Daveyboy said:

Eh? lost me there, it was a joke i think, read the thread you noobert.

Yes that is how the thread started, and it was quite civil. However this thread now only exists because a lot of silly people feel the need to berate those who do things differently. There have been several posts that have made absolutely no mention of people signing off, but with people bickering and trying to get the last word.

I find it fascinating that people have managed to make this thread last so long with so much sniping and general hostility. Some people sign off, some dont. Some hate it with a passion that burns deeply within their soul, most don't care.

So, going back to what Daveyboy said... why is this thread still here?

I thought you said you'd ignore anyone that did it?? Or were you just trolling?

Trolling. Isn’t that what your doing now, trying to get a reaction out of me? you are talking about a post that i made at 7:41 this evening.

Why are you even asking me if i have put you on my ignore list?

no! it's too funny watching the post-signers getting all defensive and wound-up about it.

Dunno about anyone else, but it looks to me like you're talking to yourself when you put your name first.

I don't care what others think about my signing off. I went through all this with Zefan a while back. I don't need to justify myself about what I do but this thread is just several pages of nothing but people trying to get one over on each other over something so trivial. It is silly and pointless.

On the whole i think you will find it was the people who 'sign off' that were making fun of it ruined the thread and the people like me who are genuinely annoyed by it are the ones who are being berated.

Agree with that.

IBTL!

Think this has gone far enough, people can post what they wish within the rules and if they wish to sign their posts then let them.

Just choose not to read it and everyone is happy.
