A two line footer is OK.  A six line footer would be nuts, at least as bad
as the percieved problem.

The digest that contained this suggestion had 26 messages.  If it had the
suggested footer, that's 156 lines of noise.  On my admittedly archaic
Unix-based mail reader, that's seven pages!

I am indeed sick of seeing HTML, but an obese footer would be at least as
annoying.
