@?

Hey, why have the @-guys no @s anymore?

Because (most) of us agreed that it was stupid.

It was a novel idea.

I'd have to agree, who picked the '@' anyway? Use a more meaningful symbol if anything

Sorry. It was like the @s for ops on IRC......

@ is the IRC "administrator" symbol, and considering most of us "@-guys" are IRC junkies, it makes sense when you think about it.

I've always kinda associated @ with an admin. I guess I'm indifferent to whether or not you guys have it or not, but what can't kill you can only make you stronger..

In one forum I used to go to, the moderators and aministrators had " ' " after their name.

CodeRed, I'm from the US... and Australians and New Zealanders have a relationship something like Americans and Canadians (although I can't say I personally have any problem with Australians).
