What's the dillio with "extra signatures"?

Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Signatures are all well and good. They've got a decent maximum length and a small font, so they don't really clutter up a thread too much. Plus, you've always got the option to turn them off.

My question is regarding "extra" signatures. F'rinstance, let's say that after every post of mine I always said something like "-tooting my own horn since 1999, I am, respectfully yours, loinburger." Kind of a full-sized signature that can't be ignored. What are your reactions to these things?

Hmm, I'd forgotten about Wraith's and Rah's (which are sometimes good, I agree). I was more thinking of the kind that never changes, the idea being that "real" signatures don't change with every post, so "extra" signatures also don't change with every post.

Wraith has good ones, and what I can tell he's been adding them for a while now. And they are always different and fitting for the situation/thread. He must have a huge stockpile of them... I wonder if he's ever used one quote twice?

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure I saw it happen once. Two different threads had gone in the same direction, IIRC.

Edit: Forgot my extra signature! This business is more difficult than it first appears!

I am sick and tired of these extra signatures. Something like "Thank you" or "Thanks" in a debate pisses me off...

Wraiths is the only decent one, precisely because it changes each post, and also matches the topic at hand.

The others are useless wastes of space.

Well I can't blame him for double quotes considering he's still got a stunning amount of them.

C'mon people, this thread isn't about personal attacks. This thread is about my new extra signature, and why it is so much better than yours.

I think his "fascism" and "extremism" is just a facade. But I can be wrong I haven't read everything he's written by any means.

I think it's always interesting to hear things from someone living in a place as tough as Philly is (at least from what I've read - I have no real knowldge of this).

Your sig line sucks.
You should change it to:
