I don't care as much about size, per se. Today if you want to conserve
bandwidth, block file sharing. Dial-up is faster than it used to be, and
many are switching to high speed connections.

I care about readability and context. Plus, taking the time to trim
gives an extra half-second for the brain to engage.

I've limited myself to the traditional maximum of 4 lines for years now.
I got tired of it. Conditions have changed. My sig is at the bottom, so
it doesn't reduce readability. I've already said I don't care much about
size. And I try to change it semi-regularly so it doesn't get boring.

But to keep you happy, I've chosen a 3 line sig to respond with. ;-)

BTW, you forgot to trim. :-P
