But seriously: do you find it that annoying?!?

Yes; it's the Steve Urkel of PerlMonks: an annoying combination of stupid catchphrases the writers consider popular yet have to invent ever more ridiculous situations to include. It's noise. It's repetitive. It adds nothing to the discussion. I block signatures, because they fail the signal test in the same ways. I can't block your pointless logorrhea without ignoring all of your posts. After several weeks of growing steadily more annoyed at its inclusion, I decided it was a fair trade.

Somebody, you perhaps, told me he would ignore me by means of a css setting: which somehow saddens me if that particular person is a knowledgeable monk - like you.

That was me. It only blocks your replies. If I could block your top-level posts in Newest Nodes, I would.

Why can't I have my little bit of cranky trademark behaviour?

You are free to do so, the same way you're free to join London.pm and post your Super Mario Brothers Furry Fanfiction for everyone to read. Whether other people like it is a different story. I only speak for myself, but I don't like it.
