I'm not sure I buy this. What value, exactly, does a signature bring? It

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
all the people on the net even use sigs.

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.


Maybe someone can enlighten me, but I always considered

Oh.  OK, yeah, I guess in the context of news posts, it could be considered
an electronic equivalent of a real-life signature.

But I thought we were talking about sigs (a.k.a. signature files).

(...) Maybe someone can enlighten me, but I always considered "--Todd" to be the electronic equivalent of a "signature." (...) I agree here. It's the content of the posts, not the form, that really causes upset. (25 years ago, 18-Aug-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
