Default Why is "Elmer Hurlstone" in YOUR Sig File?

Quote:
Elmer Hurlstone .... If you are new

Elmer Hurlstone LOOK! Amazing NEW

Elmer Hurlstone, I had NOTHING Left
These are the direct quotations of the beginning of the first line in the signatures of three separate Warriors.

At first I suspected clairvoyance but soon discovered that was not the case.

I checked on a couple threads without signing in and determined my name had been changed to "unregistered". I started looking for INS and black helicopters.

Initially it was effective; it caught my attention. Not all sigs do.

Not sure if it has legs. If "everybody knows my name" I might as well go to Cheers and have a beer with Norm and Cliff.

So—how is this done? Inquiring minds want to know.

I saw that too, Elmer.

It caught my attention the first couple of times, but now I am just going to ignore it because both of them were something I had absolutely no interest in.

It's the "you" tag that Allen turned on a while back. At first it was overused and put in every WSO title so it was turned back off for a while then turned back on.

Hey, Elmer... I just asked that question in another thread.

The response I received was to insert [ YOU ] (without the spaces)
in the sig code. I right clicked to view the page source code but
didn't see that.

Let me try it on my sig... you tell me if you see your name!

Elmer it's the old [ YOU ] code that was removed from the forum threads
and posts but still works in sig files.

Personally, I'm immune to it.

Some people like it, some people hate it.

As with everything else in life.

I was wondering why I could still it in peoples signatures but not in the WSO section.

It's kinda funny, there were a whole bunch of posts with people asking why their names were in people's sigs, with the reply from the next poster stating something along the lines of "no, you mean MY name is", classic.

Somehow I missed that whole thing, Charann.

Must have been the week I slept.

Ken Strong,

I'm semi-omnipotent; if I wish to get in your sig, I will. Fortunately I don't wish to.

Elmer,

I'm Sorry.

I thought you would like to see your name here on the WF.
Here is my old sig that I have now deleted.
Quote:
Elmer Hurlstone, You Need This,
Elmer Hurlstone, You Want This,
Elmer Hurlstone, You Have to Have This,
Elmer Hurlstone, Get This Now!
Come on Elmer Hurlstone, You Know You Want It!
Hope there are no hard feelings.
Or was you mad because I didn't give you any of the links?

Have a great Day Elmer Hurlstone,
Michael

PS. Elmer Hurlstone, Really, I'm sorry if you were offended by my Signature.

Michael,

Thank you! You've made my day.

Four times in one signature? That may be a new WF record!

As surprising as it may seem I've actually seen my name in the Warrior Forum prior to today.

Thanks Eric,

After 63 years I'm getting used to it.

It seemed to be the cause of a few fights in Jr. High school.

Ken,

You're right. I knew in 1946 that some day I'd be online and need a unique handle.

Even then I had the seeds of salesmanship in me. With great, extremely persuasive, bellowing I convinced my folks to hang this moniker on me.

I knew a kid in highschool whose last name was Firehammer. He didn't look the part, though.
