I was the VERY FIRST registered member (not counting the two Admins who started the board) of a forum; back in Feb of 2000. I was a moderator, then eventual Admin.


Last week I got a PM from a well-meaning but over-zealous Moderator about my signature:

Many Liberals Won't Stand For Victory In Iraq
Seems it violated a fictional (never stated ANYWHERE on the board) rule against "political signatures".

I replied to the moderator (who is a friend, btw) "I'm not one to break rules - here are the signature rules I followed"

Then I listed the rules.

BUT because he's my friend, I didn't make a stink. I changed my sig to this - stolen from here, by permission:

Today, I logged in.

My signature had changed to:

It's been said about Military Service:

So - Why this board is great? We will not change your sig!! (Unless we're just messing with you, but even then it's only to change Jim's sig into something Homosexuality-related. )
