As a butcher, most of the shops I worked in used white lab coats. One shop used different colors to denote rank etc. Red was apprentice, white was journeyman, black master. Most other shops either don't display such rank, or most common use different colored hardhats to denote rank or dept.

I like the thinking that seems to be implied by that system.

I'm not certain, but in GB I think they use different colored hats and or aprons for that.
Most common in US packing plants, white is a line worker, black is a crew leader, gray dept head, gold supervisor, purple is quality assurance, yellow visitor.

You think, that based on my posting here, that I have deep need for inclusion?

Yea, you do and you know it! 😉

You don't care of the attention is negative or positive.

I don't think Dive wants to feel included. It seems he just wants to feel superior and dominate everyone else.

I hope he can learn something from my experience:

Despite my scruffy appearance and circumstances, I'm a natural aristocrat, highly evolved, and I often catch flak for that from people who perceive themselves to be inferior, despite my never striving to t ...[text shortened]... r offered this advice on another forum: "Seek money, not fame, because fame is nothing but trouble."

I believe he wants both to feel included and feel superior over everyone else. NOTE: When bantering with different men I've notice where he calls them a little man, when upset with them. They could in fact be bigger as well as stronger than him, but no concerns when you're saying it behind a keyboard.

In the case I was talking about the people in the white lab coats sometimes restrain the person with a straightjacket. They are trained medical professionals.

Why do a few posters such as Very Rusty, sign every single one of their own posts?

What is that, some sort of protection of intellectual property?

There was a time, in the annals of recorded ancient history ( 🙄 ) when signing a name at the end of your post was common. This is still reflected in some forum software, giving the user a "signature space" for a .jpg or just text, of their forum name and a mention of the user's own website, back when Joe Everyman had a website, and before that, back in the ancient BBS days.

TL;DR: Signatures used to be common practice on internet forums and before. No nefarious purposes, as you imply.
