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.

Alright already! You're absolutely correct!

These intellectual doilies are contaminating every thread with insufferably arch cuteness or braying slogans. Smells like DU. And that is not good.

Call me grumpy.

Never give a gun to ducks.

From an old B. Kliban cartoon -- there's this old lady in the park, handing a pistol over to a gang of shifty-looking waterfowl. I've been chuckling over it for about 25 years (and counting).

Ever hang out at DU? They have this thing with tag lines there that is absolutely hilarious - it's fun to match the post against what the poster clearly thinks is profound beyond measure and needs to be shared every time he or she bleats. It's their version of "street cred," only, let's face it, most of us got beyond Carlos Casteneda back in the 70s...

I like the fact that I don't have to retype it everytime.
