    Default I may be a little strange....

    Does anyone else scope out the quotes others have on their posts? I just caught myself scrolling through the pages and only reading the quotes. I can't help it, I like the quotes.

    Not so much scrolling for the quotes, but I do make note of them. Don't they often reflect the personalities of the posters? (I mean as opposed to just posting a quote because it's interesting, or applies to an event on the calendar or in the news, etc.) Why do you think I spent so much time finding one that I thought fit me? (Other than the looks and acting ability part.)

    I don't always look for them, just caught myself doing it.

    Your quote is one that I have always liked.

    "Don't they often reflect the personalities of the posters?"
    Agreed, the quotes are like a mini introduction of the poster.

    If I find a quote that fits I will have to add it.

    I've used the same Super Mario Bros. 3 quote for many, many, years, and I never change it anywhere I go.

    I love reading the quotes. I often get inspiration from them. Mine does represent my personality. If I don't remind myself of it I tend to get run over.

    It's hard to not notice the quotes even if you are not trying to read the quotes as you scroll down to the important information on a thread.

    I like them too! My siggy line is boring now, it used to be more interesting and I always had the "brick wall" quote...I might have to add one in again. My fav source is Brainy Quotes, they have zillions of great ones!

    Thanks for the kick-start, I'm fixing it right now!
