I also see some hesistation which a person signing their own name would not encounter, see the 'Q' in Bob Quinn. I respect the knowledge the other members have with these particular signatures. I looked at it just for the signatures and not necessarily who they were.

Right. Even someone with zero knowledge of these specific signatures can easily see something is very unnatural about them.
