Agreed, but then I also think posting Aircraft Carrier-sized SIGs at the
bottom of each message is inconsiderate.  It's fine to have a tagline,
but for people who bottom-reply, there's often a whole lot of a mess
down there to wipe away.  It's work to have to clean it out in
bottom-posted replies.

People should consider what the value is of their sigline and not just
fill it up with words.
