Me neither.  IMHO, having or not having a sig is a very personal choice, not
a mandate by any stretch of the imagination.  Probably only about half* of

Personally, I don't use a sig because I find it much easier to read and
digest people's posts quickly when they don't use sigs.  While it's not
really any of my business whether JW uses a sig, I'm perfectly happy that
he doesn't.

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!!!
