Yes but I got some flamage on RTL for putting footnotes after my signature. In
the case of footnoting the sig itself, there is a conflict. So I decided that
there's a precedence order to the rules, and what RTLers want is more important

0 - the cigs only have one $, not 2. (2)
1 - for the case of something like this which is just plain silly, and done for
comedic effect, anyway. Normally the other way round is a better idea.
