I get asked often if I end every post with Later, QD.. Yes I do. Every board I have been on, for some reason, I have done it. I have been told that it is annoying. So? I don't care. I don't do it to please nor annoy anyone. It is just habit now. Well, I've often been asked how/why I started using it. Well, i will now attempt to answer this age old question.
I don't know where it came from. I do remember back in 2000-01, being in an MSN Community chatroom(called ChatAtlanta) for a while and when I was ready to leave the room, I would say a cussword to get booted by the Chatbot. Then I would sign off by typing: I have been brought to you by Dell Computers, Talk America Internet Services and by the number 7, followed by a cussword to get booted. After that, I started with the LATER, QD. thing. It seems to have just stuck.
Here is the LINK (http://web.archive.org/web/20020625050036/www.forumco.com/importatlanta/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=9953&FORUM_ID=70&CAT_ID=3&Topic_Title=Flyin+Miata...&Forum_Title=06-+WHORES+LOUNGE) to the first recorded posting of my famous tag-line. Notice the date as June of 2002. You can see I was using it then, too. It's now been modernized with the invention of digital imagery as shown in the below picture:

So that's about it. Later, QD.
