    As for vertical lines, I don't get that, at all ...

    I like them (usually). It's not only the way to advertise a dynasty, but a fairly effective way to get a BMO league some looks.

    You know what... me too. I'll just leave them turned off.

    See what you mean, RR - two horizontal lines placed
    vertically...

    Seriously, thank you for your correct example...I hadn't realised that double-spacing takes up un-necessary forum room - multiply by all who post here, and "Many a mickle makes a helluva muckle" (Yorkshire batsman, on scoring a century in cricket)

    Belated thanks, too, are due to Filihok, who was also trying to show me the error of my ways.

    Or we could just ignore you so we don't have to miss out on seeing sigs that we actually like. The problem with the turning off thing is it is global. Ignore however, is not.

    R.R.s post can be interpreted both ways...I saw what he meant - which gives me an opening for "the onus of communication is on the recipient"

    I don't see it. But wasn't he the one with the rambling sig before that had something about 'writers only choose know team'? I didn't get that either.

    I don't see the need for more rules. If you don't like them turn them off. I got mine turned off.

    Hi, Ms Wie,

    Forgive me, but are you really she? I have a vested interest in your answer, since one of my few claims to fame, is that I introduced the only female member (Dutchess) to these forums.

    It may be that you are a male fan of this fine young golfer -as am I - and merely
    wished to pay tribute to her, by submitting her moniker as a user name.

    Is this so?

    I am a 28 year old male from Milwaukee, WI. I am a big fan of golf. Although I can hardly afford to play anymore.
