Why do some people insist on signing their name to forum posts? We see your name when we read your post. We know it’s you! You don’t have to keep telling us.

My favourite are the ones who sign their name at the end of a post, and also have their name as their signature.

I’m taking 5 online classes this summer. The online “conferencing” is set up like an old-school “threaded” (ie not flat) forum. You see the person’s name next to the message title before you even see the message. Then you see their name above their message.

One of my profs keeps signing her name at the end of all her messages, but never even uses a closing period or even a carriage return, so her final sentence always ends with her name.

Gah.
