why do some people put their name under each post?

Isn't that kind of defeating the purpose of having sig space?

Is it a brain damage thing?

I don't know why people do it. I can see their name on the left.

I find the ones that give you a generic "yours sincerely" type of message as well as their name the most irritating for some reason... I mean they must be typing it (or copy and pasting it) every time.

Best of luck,
Rorschach

Possibly. It has always struck me as pretty fucking stupid.

And what does that have to do with not putting their name into the sig space or them having their name immediately to the left of their post anyway?

Its a habit from signing your e-mails and letters. And besides, many people have others sigs...
