Thes Tag Lines Are Driving Me Crazy (VAnity)

Posted on 01/09/2003 5:56:00 AM PST by Puddleglum

The new "taglines" after people's usernames are really distracting to me. Is it the intense pressure to think up something too cute? Is it the odd little eye-pulling font that makes it less comfortable to read the article? I can't say for sure. It just doesn't seem to detract from the message board format, at least for me. Does anyone else think so? I love FR but find this new tagline thing a little annoying. Maybe Jim could give us the option to view or not view taglines as part of our user preferences.

Why not look on the taglines as an opportunity to practice and perfect your ocular discipline?

I've lost 28 since the same time.

Great! Let's have a race. I'm losing a steady 5 pounds/week and I need to go about 50 more. I'm planning on the end of March, but if it happens to take until the end of April I'll still be very happy.

Good Luck, Dragon.

...a wet bird never flies at night.

Hot dang!!! ChiCom military code! ;-)

Seriously... it sounds like "John has a long moustache" or "The chair is against the door".

Of course, it can't compare with the most bizarre fortune cookie message that I've seen...

Like my father used to say, "You'd complain if you were hung with a new rope."

My father used to say this to, to which I'd reply, "I'd complain about being hung with any rope."

Somehow, I just don't remember that part of the story. :=)

>but I've seen so many clever tag lines that I think it's worth it. The net effect is good.

Too bad, however,
that tag lines can't be hot links!

Never give a gun to ducks.

Why don't you want ducks to have gum?

Opps! Nevermind.
