Sign mine too

"Sign mine too" looks pushy now, but usually it was just how personal pages breathed. You visited, left a line, and invited the other person back across the web.

Your page is so cute! I added your button to my links. Please sign mine too if you get a chance.

Hi Nina, I fixed my frames page finally. Come see and sign the new book :)

Etiquette

The polite version included a real comment first. The less polite version was only an advertisement. Guestbook owners could tell the difference immediately, but most still let a few through because everyone wanted visitors.

For entries that reused entire greetings, see copied response patterns.
