Is that your signature?

...not strictly, no. I write it (or something along the same lines) after almost every post I make, but I do it manually. It's more fun that way, I think.

So far as I knew, you weren't allowed to have signatures.

Apologies for the confusion

Ah, thought so.
I knew it wasn't an "official" signature, I just noticed you writing that a lot. I've seen things like it on other forums (fora?), mostly initials.

Last I checked, "official" signatures were forbidden. I agree though, tis fun.
