* Nyperold is careful not to use anything that even looks like a reasoned argument. (10:59:24)

Nyperold: Assuming you're not really too impatient to wait all of 28 seconds for the answer, I'd say the best course of action would be to ask the site owner. Well, normally I'd say that, but today, I'll say that the best course of action is the one you took: ask a question and not even wait 0 seconds for the answer. (11:27:32)
Nyperold: *30 (11:27:35)

Ticia: Erm (12:48:12)
wintermute: Hehe.# (12:48:18)
Ticia: eumretniw (12:48:19)
Nyperold: Ooh, 1943 Superman. (12:48:22)
Ticia: Gah (12:48:23)
Ticia: Typing backwards one handed = very very hard. (12:48:39)
wintermute: I bet. (12:48:53)
Ticia: !!!!etumretniw (12:49:00)
Ticia: There (12:49:02)
wintermute: Well done! (12:49:34)
iwpg: Hi Ticia. (12:49:40)
Ticia: So. Am I the only one who thinks that saying RIP when refering to someone who has died is trite? (12:49:46)
wintermute: Requiesat in Pace. (12:50:04)
wintermute: Not if it's heartfelt. But if it's just something to say, yes. (12:50:36)
Ticia: There's a woman on a parenting board I go to that has, as her signature (n BIG letters) RIP MY ANGEL BABY (name of baby) (Date of birth and death) (12:50:38)
wintermute: Hrm. (12:50:56)
Ticia: It just seems like... if she wants to honor her child in her signature, a picture or something would serve the purpose better. But big (purple) text just isn't doing it. (12:51:38)
wintermute: Yeah. (12:52:19)
wintermute: I dislike sigs, in general. (12:52:35)
Maryam has entered. (12:52:39)
Maryam: My goodness, Stupid Day already? (12:52:46)
wintermute: MAYRAMAY! (12:52:52)
Nyperold: Yep. And it's only been a year. (12:53:06)
Ticia: I like signatures if they're not too big, or have information that we don't really know. (12:53:27)
Ticia: *need to know. (12:53:31)
wintermute: It's been longer than usual since the last SD. (12:53:35)
Maryam: Sigs are pretty bad taste. (12:53:40)
Ticia: Why's that? (12:53:52)
Ticia: This one woman has a signature that has things like what medications she's on. That's just crazy. (12:54:32)
Ticia: But I have a signature in several forums that has a picture of Rose and Abby. Hold on and I'll find it for you. (12:54:55)
iwpg: Hi Maryam. (12:55:55)
Ticia: Here. Take a look at this signature. http://forums.delphiforums.com/etiquettehell/messages?msg=4529.13 (12:56:27)
Ticia: Is that too annoying? (12:56:32)
Ticia: I know I need to change it, because it's not the holidays anymore. (12:56:52)
wintermute: An advert for a free TV? (12:57:02)
wintermute: It's pretty annoying. (12:57:08)
Ticia: Eh? (12:57:09)
Maryam: You get redirected if you click that. (12:57:22)
Ticia: No no no. (12:57:23)
Maryam: I generally think that sigs with pics at all are pretty bad, though. (12:57:37)
Ticia: Is there something to click to go on to the forums. (12:57:40)
wintermute: Oh, OK. (12:57:40)
Ticia: Maryam: but why? (12:57:53)
wintermute: Ticia: It's a bit big. (12:58:11)
Maryam: Because pics add up. The more you have, the more time it takes to load a page. (12:58:23)
Maryam: And in forums, you generally are loading lots of pages one right after another. (12:58:35)
wintermute: Maryam: Right. (12:59:06)
Ticia: Ah. Ok. I can see why people would think that. (12:59:14)
Ticia: That forum has very few people who have sigs. So it's not such an issue. Plus people have the option of turning off sigs if their computer loads slowely. (12:59:52)
Ticia: I'm one of probably about 15 peope who posts regularly there who has a sig. (13:00:19)
Ticia: And at other forums I delete it, usually. (13:00:41)
Ticia: But anyway. I know I need to change it. (13:00:55)
Ticia: I'll make my next one smaller. (13:01:01)
wintermute: Also, big sigs (like pictures) mean you need to scroll past stuff you don't want to get to the content. (13:01:12)
wintermute: Working out what is the post and what is the sig always annoys me. (13:01:35)
Ticia: That's true. (13:02:26)
Ticia: On the other hand, I don't always check the name at the top of the post to see who's writing it. And then if I recognize the sig I know who it is without having to scroll back up. And we have lots of people who write long posts there, so that's a lot of scrolling. (13:03:33)
Rivikah has entered. (13:03:33)
Nyperold: Hello! (13:03:44)
Rivikah: Hey! It's Stupid day!. I would have forgotten. (13:03:49)
Ticia: I should change my sig to just text that says "HAPPY STUPID DAY!" with a link back to rinkworks. (13:04:04)

wintermute: Mollie! (13:06:30)
Nyperold: My sig is text-only, and has dashes to separate the post from the sig. I also shrink the text so it doesn't take up so much space. (13:06:34)

wintermute: Cool. (13:49:39)
wintermute: The odds were in her favour. (13:49:48)
Nyperold: I wonder what the odds would be if there were 367 people? (13:49:50)
wintermute: Nyp: 100% (13:49:57)
Nyperold: How about that? I would've thought it was more. (13:53:18)
