It's Jonathan or Jo, not Jon. =P You get used to it after a while. Sure, people go by different names at different time, just like my friends call me Roujo/Jo/Jonathan/Rouillard depending on the friend and on who's around. In the end, people manage to know who's talking to who. Kerim is G, Alex is ais523, comex is omd, Sean is scshunt, I'm Roujo and you're Henri. Nice to meet you. Even if you start signing your emails differently, all it takes is a look at the email address and a bit of memory jogging and you know who's talking. Plus, it allows us to have fun signing messages in a different way - I didn't even notice that omd's last signatures were acronyms until you pointed it out. =P TL;DR: There's enough humour coming out of these signatures that I believe that standardizing them WOULD NOT treat Agora Right Good Forever. ~ If you don't know who's talking by now, you probably shouldn't have skipped to the TL;DR
