Charming. You're really showing your maturity and age here - or rather,
your lack of it.
Charlie's point - and it's a valid one - is that you spout anti-spam email
addresses - then add spam to the end of your message. You're a hypocrit.

Complete and utter garbage. Your signature is an unsolicited attempt to
make yourself money, or someone else, money. It lands in my inbox in
messages I have no control over {except unsubscribing from the information
list I'm connected to, which I don't want to do} which appears in every
message you post.

You, on the other hand, are touting some get rich quick scheme - a not so
acceptable one.

{snort} Acceptable by _whose_ standards?
Try posting with a signature like that into alt.sysadmin.recovery or
alt.tech-support.recovery and watch them apply a hefty LART to you post
haste. Hell, pick ANY tech newsgroup or mailing list and try it - you'll
be kicked out so fast your head'll spin.
Today's "standards" are made up by clowns who are only in the net for a
quick buck, and who have no clue or regard for nettiqute - nor have any
desire to learn.
Try not to lumber yourself wit hthem.
