MetaPost comments and questions about the messageboards and other parts of EN World. If you have a problem, this is where to go. Moderator email addresses are posted here.
That's not a problem, and certainly apropos. You may want to make it a smaller, please - we asked Airwolf to do the same a year or so ago - but as long as the clothes stay on, he's a fine sig.
Good Signature guidelines for members in general:
In general, horizontal sigs are better than vertical sigs, because they take up less space. And remember that a good rule of thumb is: never have a sig that is longer than your post. If your post is short or you're posting multiple times in one thread, consider turning off your sig on the later posts.
Thanks for letting me hitch space on your thread!

I must get my head to stop spinning.
Hey, why not? You're a valued member of this community, and have been for a long time. You've contributed in a constructive manner the entire time you've been here. You seemed to have gone away for a while, but it was good to see you back.

Thanks. Such high praise. I think I'm going to blush. I hope that when I add my thoughts they are useful in some way.
As you mentioned I have not been on the boards as much as I used to, darn boss. I still check in now and then. At home the Mrs. and I started working out at a gym, so less time to post from there as well.
I mentioned this many moons ago when I first started with the bikini babe in my .sig, if any of the moderators find the picture offensive or if they get complaints about it, and choose to ask based on those complaints, I will happily remove the picture from my .sig file.
Personally I think it would be funny if one of the female posters wanted to add a thumbnail of beefcake in their .sig.

Yes, I remember all that. I know you haven't tried to offend anyone, and have been more than accomodating in regards to this. I also agree that what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
I think Dragongirl's heart is in the right place, but I think care must be applied in matters like this in order not to make enemies out of friends. Both Airwolf and Dragongirl are good hearted people, and I don't want this to turn into an issue.

If there's a problem, it's a moderator issue - and I gently suggest that other kind and well-meaning folks should withdraw their metaphorical oars from the water. Airwolf doesn't mind, the Moderators don't mind, and Dragongirl is hopefully poking fun in a light-hearted way - so no need for concern on anyone's part. If Dragongirl is truly upset instead of just "returning the favor", I have no doubt that she knows to inform a friendly neighborhood moderator.
Fair enough?

I agree with both CH and PC. I think DG is having some lighthearted fun, at my expense, which is fine. I enjoy jokes and pranks on others and long ago learned to laugh at them when people play them on me.
(I just wish I was as well *cough*hung*cough* as the guy in the picture. )

The last thing you all want to see is me in a swimsuit. It would probably make you

OK.

Originally posted by Horacio If you begin to blush, I'd have to begin to put bikini girls in my .sig
Horacio thinks again about it, and about what painfully things could DG do to him if he does that, and then he decides to correct his assertion
Ah good thinking Raymond!
As for anyone's concern that this will develop badly I was in part poking fun and in part protesting. But I have not asked anyone to change their sig though I would not mind if someone did. Now I just have the challenge of finding enough almost naked guys to put in my sigs until all the guys on here poke Airwolf to death.

First, I hate my Spanish first name, and in English it sound even bizarrer :-p
Second, not all guys would poke Airwolf. I for one find all that very funny.
