It seems decorative, and the value is mostly to the appender being able to make: (...) political statements or statements about their belief systems (...) more information (...)

| | | | | | | (...) Having a sig does nothing, imo, to make a message more personal or make it clearer that a person had something to do with it. My newsreader injects sig.txt into my messages every time I post on - I have nothing to do with it. (25 years ago, 18-Aug-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

What possible reason could we as a community come up with to justify forcing anyone to use (...) (25 years ago, 18-Aug-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

| | | | | 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. I ususally don't put a full signature on messages... just my name and sometimes a comment. (...) (25 years ago, 18-Aug-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
