Is it just me being a "cranky old coot" or does anyone else get annoyed by posts that have these signatures on the end of the post?

But I like your signature! Very funny, Lol

Doesn't bug me enough to start a new thread about it. But it does bother me enough to respond to that thread. And yes, I do agree. I wish they would take 30 seconds and turn off the signature in their app. It would make for a smoother reading experience for everyone.

agreed I find it annoying, also.

Doesn't really bother me, but it's funny when people slightly tweak it. I had a guy I worked with whose signature was

Sent from my iPhone 7

Back when the 4s was the newest phone out lol.

~~~ Sent from my Galaxy Note 7 ~~~

Now you have to prove that by returning to a time before the other replies were posted to make post number 2.

Speaking of number twos, did you in fact mean a Turdis?

Gotta say I find them annoying too. But now that I think about it, you could have some fun with them ...

Hm, "Sent from the smouldering ruins of my Galaxy Note 7" perhaps?

I think these started as a combination of advertising ("Hey, look, if you get an iPhone you can send email too!") and excuse ("Forgive my brevity, spelling, grammar and word choice, I'm doing this from my phone to show that my responsiveness is better than my judgement"). These days, it's still some of the same thing. I honestly don't recall whether I've turned that off on everything.

Yes, I agree you could have some fun with them but most people don't bother to change it to something meaningful or disable it.
I used to have a collection of funny signatures to append to email years ago, like:

"Windows has detected that the breeze has moved the curtains.
You must reboot to reflect the changes!"

or

No trees were harmed in the creation of this
message - however, a large number of electrons
were seriously inconvenienced!

or

Windows has detected your mouse has moved.
You must reboot now to reflect these changes.
Reboot Now? Y/N

I had a bunch of those for LaserJet IIIsi and 4si printers, with the little display. Things like "00 INSERT COINS"

You could change those display messages with a bit of simple PJL code.

In the beginning of that signatures I got bored, but today I am a little bit wiser: It is just the apology for bad spelling and/or bad grammar in a world with small devices in big hands, auto correction and all these things.

 

[lcoughey]

I thought about messing with my Tapatalk signature just for this post, but chose to disable it instead. Now just using the thread to test that it is truly diabled.

I use PIA and they have an install for their software for linux on their site. Works quite well.
