I think I'm with Larry on this one. While a .sig is certainly traditional, I
wouldn't go so far as to call it required by netiquette. (Especially in
cases like lugnet, where there's not much fear of the header info being
lost.)
And actually, when it comes down to it, there's a solid 'net tradition of
leaving out capitalization and punctuation. Typing in all caps is definitely
rude, but there's not generally a strong prohibition against the other way
'round. And I don't remember it being against the LugNET terms of service.
I want to be sure that if we're punishing someone, we're doing it because of
actual, serious offenses. It's not fair to pile a bunch of other stuff on
top.
