Why sign your posts?

We know your username and we know some of you by reputation so no need to add it to every post. Is it because you're in work and you're too used to writing work emails? It's daft and if you've thousands of posts here it's wasting your time too. And whatever about adding your username, no need for "regards" also Or maybe…

It's because when you're scrolling down the pages looking for any thanks you may have gotten it's handier on the eye if your name's at the bottom and not at the side.

Yours sincerely,

Because I'm damn sick of fools thinking I'm not being sincere or being unclear about whether or not I remain their humble servant.

I'll never understand why they don't just put it in their sig.
Having to type Mike or something after every bloody post must get old (not singling out mike65 here, just the first example that comes to mind)...
