I see a violation of Netiquette / good practice (of four lines);
RFC1505;
the PGP signature is then followed by a 4 line "ordinary" signature
section.
RFC1855;
If you include a signature keep it short. Rule of thumb is no longer
than 4 lines.
RFC1983;
signature: The three or four line message at the bottom of a piece
of email or a Usenet article which identifies the sender. Large
sinatures (over five lines) are generally frowned upon. See also:
Electronic Mail, Usenet.
But enough is enough ... the other out-of-list message is not worth
responding to .. I empathise and agree with the linuxbios member
you refer to, who thinks your .sig story is a croc (may the farce be
with you).
However, I note with glee that this mailling list doesn't munge "from"
addresses so we might alter our policy, and go filter on that ..
