    Yes.

    I could see the point if you were on a forum where you wanted to give out your real name as opposed to your signup/screen name, maybe.

    I think of it as giving my personal seal of approval for the message I just wrote. After all, I put a lot of thought into my posts, so I might as well take full ownership of the thing. It's the digital equivalent of signing my name at the bottom of a hand-written letter.

    Wikipedia says:

    A pet peeve (or pet hate) is a minor annoyance that an individual identifies as particularly annoying to them, to a greater degree than others may find it.

    lol, what's worse - non-sig signatures, or when you tell a group of people about your pet peeves and they do exactly what you said you hate?!

    - Stuwheeeeeee

    p.s. What I hate are multi-colored bolded all-caps obnoxious signatures, or worse - 400 pixel height signatures.

    Who's the one who begins every message with "Greetings!", as well? :) I used to think it was quite charming, but after seeing it twenty times in a row atop retorts in a fierce argument, it starts to get irritating. Posts like

    The nonsensical formality makes me rage...

    Well hello there kind sir,

    I think your comment is absolutely wrong and highly suggest you get yourself check by a psych as you may be suffering from some weird & uncommon psychological stress which has distorted your grasp on certain things in life.

    Yours truly,
    -DL




    :p

    There are different degrees of misuse in this respect. Some people just make themselves sound vaguely stupid by using expressions like "hanging loose". Others construct sentences like

    "don't loose your temper lol"

    My God, the world is too overpopulated to let them live.
