    Well, there's my answer!! When I was typing LMAO that was all I was typing. Not in a sentence like this. Ok, I feel better now. I know I am not losing my mind.
    Thank you Karen and Phred.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I too have this problem on occasion. Thanks for posting this and the clarification!

    I think you've made your point, and shown just how immature you are.

    Do you realise that possible new members refrain from joining PT when they see "signatures" like yours - they probably think it's a childs only forum.

    If you seriously think my signature is obnoxious, you really ought to see some of the signatures that are on a few of the gaming forums I am a member of.

    By the way, all of the people that I am around, be it online or off, agree that I am more mature than most kids my age.

    (yes, I mean never)

    Cindy and others on this thread,

    I apologise in advance for this post.

    Oh, how time moves on and how little you change, Colin. I was rather foolishly hoping that perhaps you'd matured and learnt respect during the time I've been away from PT.

    What signatures are like on other forums is not the point - on Pet Talk the primary interest is pets, and we want to encourage like-minded people to join, not display childish games. Now you are welcome to have your own signature, I guess, but to contradict yourself as you did just makes you look an idiot, and then to reply as you have, well, I presume you see that the rest of us are not impressed with your attitude.

    The people who say you are mature must be seeing a different Colin. Why is it so difficult for you to be mature here?

    If you want to prove to the people here that you are indeed mature, show some respect by continuing this conversation with me via PMs, if you wish, as I do not desire to disrupt this thread any further.

    Ok...
    here's some clarification on the BIG siggies. Just to give an insight into those not "in" on the joke between Reggie and Blue.

    Reggie commented on how he *hates* big siggies. As well as using all caps all the time, and a bunch of other things. Blue agreed, but then to annoy Reggie, he put his siggie up first. OOOH... a 34 year old being funny!!!

    Reggie than decided to be funny, and make his bigger than Blue's.



    It was all a goof on how some people here on PT AND on other forums have huge siggies (not just letters, so you might want to check out pics etc before pointing fingers). I know mine fits into that category. It's a big pic. But oh well, I liked the picture, and it's still smaller than many.

    Anyway... that's the background. A younger member stating that he didn't like big siggies, and an older member joking around with him to just be funny. There's nothing wrong with being friendly and funny. It creates a feeling of camaraderie.

    Horrible, isn't it??

    He was being silly, and you can be silly at any age. At least in the USA. Sorry if the UK frowns on silliness.

    Okay, enough about Collin's signature. That's not what the thread was about, and it will probably change soon anyway, as signatures tend to do.

    I am glad the original question was answered about posting in all caps, so everyone now can understand.
