The older technology screens often couldn't reproduce well... and no
matter how hard one tried, one couldn't get a proper signature... they
got used to just accepting it... I'm still surprised when I get a
screen that actually reproduces what I thought I wrote... :)

I'm a counter at church. Each Monday morning I count the collection
and make the deposit. (I asked when I was first "volunteered" if they trusted me with the money I was told they did, "since its mostly
cheques anyway"). :)
I don't remember any of details five seconds after I'm done (who
gave what, etc). I make it something to immediately forget.

Unless you are the Financial Secretary or the Treasurer, there's no real
reason why you should remember details, just make sure your count is accurate... ;)

But there are times something will stick in my mind. This one
person instead of signing their name on the cheque will make wiggly
loops. :) I guess this what they did when they opened their account
and its always accepted.

Some people think that if they make an unintelligible signature that it
would be harder to forge.... But, yes, they'd've opened the account
using that as their signature.... :) I think that's something that
they teach med students in school, to make up something that wouldn't be
easily dreamed up by someone wanting to sign a prescription form... On
the other hand, a very clear signature is actually hard to forge, and
less likely that someone would actually be able to fake it... I remember
once when some company tried to say that we'd signed up for their phone
service for our landline... when they produced Richard's "signature" as
proof, it was easily refuted... they'd scrawled something, and his
actual signature is very open and clear, with its own idiosyncracies to
be sure, but definitely not what they'd claimed... :)

I was also made a co-signer on on church cheques (payroll, bills,
etc) and after about the fifth cheque in the pile my sig is really odd looking. :) Joe

Guess your hand gets tired quickly.... ;) You must need more practice
with it... :)

... I am positive that a definite maybe is probably in order.
