What are the icons off to the left hand side of my posts?

Im reffereing to the little envelope thats next to all the posts , i just noticed all of mine have a black dot on them. It looks like one of those old style wax seals people used to use to seal an envelope. Does this mean im blackballed or something? Just curious as it doesnt show up on any other users posts.

The black dot is there for easy reference. It denotes a thread that you have previously posted to, and makes it easier for you to find when looking at a screen full of threads.
