CAN'T YOU BLOODY WELL KEEP YOUR SIGNATURE DOWN TO A SINGLE LINE (OR AT MOST TWO) DESCRIBING A SIMPLE USENET ADDRESS!!!! 1) you are wasting resources, because every character uses telephone time and disk space 2) It's a bloody pain to have to suffer thru your signature more than once if you don't just keep it short and to the point (this can also be said of some contributions). 3) Putting your sig out here may look nice, but it takes a lot longer to print at 300 baud! LETS have SOME consideration. OK? -- ...[rlgvax, ritcv]!ccieng5!ccieng2!bwm
