I didn't miss it at all. That's what my reply to you was about. I then
went on to state another, related point: I believe that short .sigs
(regardless of content) are much less annoying than long ones.
> signature files that have a quote that you like,
Even if it's not relevant to LEGO? OK. So we've established that
LEGO-relevance is not a necessity for LUGNET .sigs. Why do you think
quotes are OK but posting your profession isn't?
Isn't the purpose of a .sig to tell people about you - to identify you?
A quote tells people something about you. So does including your company
& profession. Neither one have LEGO relevance. What's the difference?
What is the source of this rather bizarre pet peeve of yours? I'm very
curious, just because it seems so strange to me.
