Here we go with yet another waste of bandwidth post, but anyway... If you've got more than 4 lines of sig, make a web page, put your paradigm-shifting, world-altering, crime-ending, poverty-fixing, homeless-sheltering information on that, and GIVE US A LINK. And when you reply to a post that has excess verbiage for a sig, CUT IT OFF before sending the reply. I just read 4 lines of reply on a post that had something like 30 lines of sig. Gimme a break. (I guess I should be grateful that at least the response I just read was on the bottom of the original post, and not on the top.) And note that this IS perfectly relevant to THIS list, and therefore NOT off-topic, and so it's not marked that way. While I'm at it, if your company forces every email you send to have 30 lines of legal-disclaiming boilerplate, at least GET A FREE ACCOUNT somewhere to handle your mailing list traffic. None of us care. Does anyone honestly look for answers from this list that need not be checked for veracity before putting them into production? Again, gimme a break. On second thought, I take it back. The _least_ you could do is figure out how to configure your email client on your SuSE GNU/Linux wokstation to just use binmail and avoid your company's additions.
