I just wanted to add my $.02
I am a spouse who has enjoyed being a member here for about 9 months...before that I lurked for about 6 months. I do not have a high post count... that is because I tend to chose my posts carefully for the most part...I only post when I think I have something relevant to add...
Anyway, most of the ladies that have responded in this particular thread know me well from another forum...and they should know that this is not against them, but merely an observation from my point of view.
"When in Rome...."
I too have a cute siggy in my other forums, but I feel that this is not an appropriate place (for me.) I personally feel I would much rather a subdued quote than a cute siggy as I really want the people here to take me seriously...I attempt to sound intelligent when I post...and I want those here to continue to regard me as so.
Just as I wouldn't parade myself in the Officer's mess wearing a mini skirt and belly shirt, I won't have my cute siggy here. I have another outlet where I can have my cute stuff, and do my bellyaching about how much I miss hubby while he is gone, etc...
I, too, try to exude quiet professionalism...
As for the nature of the original post and point to this thread...I feel it was appropriate for the particular forum section in which it was posted. If there are those who dissagree...they need not read the thread...no one has a C-7 to your chest.
