If signing means including an e-mail address,
another obvious reason is to avoid junk mail. As
with on Usenet, few people want to attract even
more junk mail since there are many programs out
there to scan web pages like this one for them.
If signing means simply leaving a name, maybe
it's also laziness since there's no verification
mechanism here.
Of course, some people probably prefer to remain
anonymous as well. Except for obvious cases where
someone wishes to avoid retribution due to the
contents of their message.
