honest question.
why are you writing your username at the end of every post?
-Skhellter.
Well, I've always done it; suffixed my posts with my name. So, habit. I guess. We can start with that.
Secondly, when quoted, there's
no mistaking who's written the post. (check the quote I've included immediately above). If you look at some of the quote chains where multiple quotes are included in the thread then it can actually be a pain in the ass to sift through it to determine which posts are made by whom. Often, some people remove the names from the quote bar entirely and just leave 'quote' in the chain. That results in difficulty when it comes to identifying the original quoted author - you have to sift back through the thread to locate the original post.
Just quote this post in a reply and it'll become immediately apparent who has said what without trying sift through the quote chain. Try it. You'll like it. Compare this practice to some of the other quote chains - especially the ones that are a complete mass of confusion as to who has responded.
Third, I do occasionally write long posts. I like to be recognised for my efforts.
Finally, it reasserts who the Author of the post is when the reader reaches the end.
I hope that helps.
