- Happy1 pretended to be Kitepower by using Steve's familiar sign off
Some folks like to make their mark at the end of a post.
I guess you can call it a 'sign-off'.
i.e.
Cya and
Goodwinds
^^^ That's Shopguy's sign-off.
Cute.
It's the poster's symbol, their signature, their familiar gesture, it ratifys their act of writing.
But if you want to get forensic about it...
There are more accurate ways to identify an author to a post.
More conspicuous indicators than just a stupid sign-off.
