I'm not sure I buy this. What value, exactly, does a signature bring? It
seems decorative, and the value is mostly to the appender being able to
make:

So while I agree that it may be annoying to not be responded to as to
why not when you ask that JW start using one, it just doesn't seem that
important to me, Certainly not one of the line items on a banishment
bill of particulars!!!
Are you sure you aren't letting everything you personally find annoying
become a reason to banish him? We have to be careful we're not enforcing
group think here...
Note that I trimmed the groups back to just .a.g, this is not .cad.dev
fodder. Everyone should heed Todd's request and stick to just
.admin.general
I'd ask the general question. Is a signature block mandatory? I think
not.

| I agree with Larry P. on the signature issue - it IS nice to have, but I'm not sure it's super-useful, at least when using the web interface to read LUGNET.
