To think putting the posters name in bold when you're replying to them...

[AgentZigzag]

...just sounds so accusatory?

'Are you saying you've got Twigs 'n' Shit in your hall TrendyPoster?'

'What made you think of doing that with a Pom Bear CrispyKegs?'

Makes me think I should be feeling guilty about something

YABU AgentZigzag

Nah, I like it. Or I miss when people are asking me something
Maybe you just have a guilty conscience eh? eh? Agent so called Zigzag

It's just so they see it, surely? It's easy to skim a thread and miss something.

Why, thank you for taking the time to reply ProfCox

OK, we'll try it this way then, AgentzigZag, just for you.

I do it so that they can c I am replying direct to their post/question :)

Yabu I always do it

That makes me feel insignificant Graham

I like it makes me feel kinda important

Just makes it easier to see when you skim read the thread.

It must just be the way I read the bolded words that puts emphasis on them in my head

It's easier to skim for your own name in a long post read replies.

Agent honey, I've felt like that my whoooole damn life!

IT COULD BE WORSE THOUGH AZZ - WE COULD ALL BE SHOUTING AT EACH OTHER.

Yeah, that's true Rita, you can skim read a thread and pick up on someone getting a kicking telling off by the amount of times their name's mentioned.

I'm going to start a random bolding campaign. Why should people find it easy to understand posts ? F F S

WHAT WAS THAT BrianCox? SPEAK UP!

I like it, but a couple of times have been bollocked for commenting on a post that was "addressed" to someone else (ie, had their name in bold at the front of the post).

Hope you told them to SHOVE IT UP THEIR ARSE HandMini (don't like people telling me what to post )

if i type all in bold i feel like im shouting and thats how i read it in my head but i put posters names in bold to draw their attention

Would it make you feel better if we used italics, AgentZigZag?

AgentZigZag perhaps like this?

OOOh or we can denote how we feel about you so accusatory AgentZigZag
