Sometimes computer users with a moderate amount of experience like to show off.. and they do things like create the aforementioned buttons, or zillions of lines of multicoloured sigs, or start installing their favourite desktop themes on their friends' computers without asking..
All this behaviour is consistant with the old phrase "sometimes knowing a little is knowing too much". I remember, when at university, seeing a post on the wall about the stages of knowing LaTeX.. from newbie up to wizard. And wizards truly were wizards.. With more training and life experience comes the maturity and understanding that one does not need to "show off" their knowledge.. when the time comes it will be revealed plain and simple. Another sign of maturity is understanding that not everybody wants to be bothered by one's acts of impressivism.. that multiline signature might actually be annoying to a wizard, rather than impressive to the neophytes usually encountered. I think that when you see things like this that annoy you.. my advice would be to count to ten, and realise that what you're observing is, for the most part, peacock feathers and an insecurity on the part of the person that is annoying you. They will, of course, see it differently.. until a wizard casts a spell on them.. boooom! In reply to Re: Has a line been crossed by this user
