Signature lines
IMHO, all signature lines, whether politically inflamatory or just cutsie, are to be avoided on a list such as this as an unnecessary waste of bandwidth.
Re: Signature lines
Hear, hear! The only ones that work are simple factual statements about, or descriptions, of the poster. Cotty's is an example. All the rest are a pain. Even the cleverest ones quickly lose their impact, and become irritating. Most are simply pretentious, and a few are beneath contempt. John On Tue, 23 Mar 2004 15:29:20 -0500, Daniel J.

Dan, Agreed! Whole heartedly, and IMHO commenting on them to the list is another unnecessary waste of bandwith. The flame wars are juvenile and unnecessary puffery. We haven't had them here in quite some time, and now is no time to return to the past. The list is much better without them... Regards, Bob S.

RE: Signature lines
lol! frank, if you added up all of the bandwidth that has been wasted by signature lines over the years, and compared it to the bandwidth that has been wasted by this thread, this thread would probably already have wasted more! lol... tan. -Original Message- From: frank theriault [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 24 March 2004 10:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Signature lines I'll get rid of mine right away.

Actually, I was thinking more of mental bandwidth than electronic bandwidth. Reading the same tiresome old witicisms gets really tiresome at times.
