I agree with your reasoning and, if it were possible to selectively
include or omit the ebase signature, I'd include it on most email.
But, if I'm sending out an appeal (for membership, or donations, or
subscriptions), anything that confuses the sales message is
detrimental. Most of the people to whom these messages will be sent
have no idea about our internal management concerns, nor should they.
The ebase signature would simply weaken the sales message.
