Notice a common theme? I'm guessing something prompted this idea, but by definition a signature is when someone signs their name. If someone is "signing" their comments without a handle, they're not signing their comments at all. Simple as that. You can't make comments without signing them, and you can't sign them without providing a handle. Take whatever idiot prompted this thing to A/VB. —Aichon— 21:05, 1 May 2011 (BST)
