An email bragnature is an email signature, also known as an email footer, comprised mostly of acronyms, accolades, and titles one writes of his or herself.

A simple email signature with a job title and contact information is not a bragnature because this information is most likely of use to general email recipients.

A lengthy email signature with unrelated titles, awards, and mostly meaningless (to most other people) acronyms is a bragnature. The general feel one gets of the bragnature is that the composer is very conceded and feels it critical to let others know of all titles and accomplishments even though they may be on the spectrum from impressive to ridiculous.

Example bragnatures

= The nobody amateur radio operator

Don Brown (.-- ----- .- ..-.) ARRL VE, FE, WØAF
Emergency Coordinator
ARES/ARRL
Mills County, IA

To be a member of the ARRL only requires you pay money, to be a VE requires nothing special as they pretty much let anyone with a license do this without regards to actual working knowledge of radio, and the rest is volunteer things that this guy again pays a bunch of money to do, is not really utilized anymore, and carries no real clout with anyone outside of a few amateur radio fan boys.

This is a verified bragnature.
