The wooden posts of Troy
Some forum members (myself included) have spun off a "thread within a thread" about one member (Troys) purpose in posting to the GTD forum.
To separate out the thread I've taken the liberty of cutting & pasting the relevant parts below. Apologies about the quality of the cut & paste, I've put dotted lines between the individual posts. If a staff member can tidy it up thats fine by me.
I believe I've cut & pasted the posts fairly but the source is:.

This time no mention of being a restaurant manager.
I think Katherine has asked a valid question. Lets see Troys answer.

Holy crap. Look at you guys. I've been investigated.
My name is Troy. I work as restaurant manager. This normally takes up about 50-60 hours per week and I'm a geek in a sense when it comes to operating web sites. My connection to Clockmanager.com is that I'm the webmaster of that site.
Time management and personal productivity has been a topic that interested me for some time. Just going through and reading information on it has given me insight to create my own time management portal.
Hopefully, I've answered some questions for you all.

"Click now" signature.

The reason why you've been investigated is your spam-like colorful "click now" signature that does not match up with your restaurant manager job and interesting points presented in your posts.

Ok,
Well for the record I'm not a member of this forum to saturate this forum with spam. I enjoy being here and talking with folks about GTD.
I actively particpate in thread topics and started one of the most popular threads on the front page.
If I need to scale down my signature then let me know...
I'm a restaurant manager and a web developer.

Troy,
Fair enough...my vote is for the click-thru website reference in the signature to be removed to the contact info in your profile.

Free-will. Gotta love free-will. I'm not forcing anyone to click on it, but I will scale it down.

It's free-will but is it appropriate?

What would you do if one of your restaurant guests would come with a big colorful banner "I love McDonald's" and sit the whole day showing this banner to all the other guests. Would you like it? It's free-will but is it appropriate?

Change your settings to not show signatures in this forum if your that offended.
I think you should think more practical. My signature is more like a person wearing a Mcdonald's t-shirt to my restaurant and sitting there and eating. I'm not blinking the signature at anyone nor am I using flash animation.
This isn't using my time effectively by having this disagreement about something so silly as my forum signature. If you have a problem with my post or question how "appropriate" they are then simply report it to a moderator. Thank you for your input. Thank you for your time. Have a nice day.

But TesTeq may quite reasonably want to view other members signatures
(the ones that aren't an advertisement vehicle)

Are you as sarcastic to the guests who eat at your restaurant?
