Wooly, a request: Please stop using the '@' sign before one's user name. Thanks.

Why do you ask this? No, TBN is not setup to alert a user when you use it like other forms, but its useful to know who the comment is directed to.

I'm unaware of what you and Wooly say is commonplace on other (forms)~ forums. Seems to me that starting a post with stating a poster's username would let readers know who was being addressed, for instance: Coyote machine it occurs to me that...
Maybe that means of 'calling one out' is too obtuse for the net?
I've never encountered it's use before, and I've spent a fair amount of time on many different forums- where is it commonly used, and is it something that is relatively 'new' in net language?
Since it isn't part of TBN 'lingo' wouldn't it make sense not to use it, since it doesn't accomplish anything?

The @ sign is used on twitter. You're not up to speed with the hip kids' lingo, dude.

Personally, I like @username VS quoting an entire post by someone else. Never occurred to me to use it here, but I might now.

I would rather quote the whole thing and delete parts of the quote that I'm not intending to address..

I do that as well. Sometimes, however, if you remove or leave out something in a quote, someone else comes along and doesn't bother to read the thread in its entirety, something gets taken out of context, and the next thing you know, everyone's bashing Kioti haters.
