What's with the ACK! stuff?
I've seen this on various threads. What's the history behind ACK!, and what does it mean?

It's an exclamation by Bill the Cat:




I'm sure Tuberski can tell more about it.


[BTW: this reminds me a bit of the whole deal with loinburger's "Wu-tang!"]

Those "extra signatures" people use usually are lame anyway. I mean, think of Al Speer's "thanks". Doesn't it just make you want to slap him, every time?

I agree with Stefu completely.

Pioneer's "So long" seems way out of place to the point where it makes me smile every time -- so that one can stay.

Wraith is just about the only interesting "extra signature" I have read. And that is because it changes.

Some are ok (like Tuber's) and some annoy the hell out of me (have a nice day).

I kinda like these extra signatures... they make me laugh. But I would never do anything like that.

ACK!

What was loinburgers ending line he'd use every once in a while? "Donning my pantaloons in all haste, I am respectfully yours". That gets a chuckle out of me every time.

I think it went through one or two revisions, but it was fairly constant. It was amusing (still makes me chuckle) but eventually became overkill - what with it repeated in every post of his.
