And some people, like me, just configure their email program to
automatically include the signature. I read lugnet using email, not using
news.
I don't consider it "bragging", I just consider it professional when dealing
with others. I want to make sure that if somebody needs to contact me that
they can. My title is on my business cards too (along with all of the other
information included in my signature). Think of the signature as an
electronic business card.
My professional title is probably not relevant when I'm posting to lugnet,
but I'm not going to create more than one signature and even if I did I
would have to remember to switch back in forth. Email is an integral part of
my life, and I don't don't differentiate work email from home email
(especially since it all goes through the same email account). I probably
deal with over 100 emails a day (I'm not bragging, it's just a fact), and
chaning signatures all the time would be a pain.
I generally dislike signatures that include graphics and other binary data.
I would prefer to see things kept simple.
Now you've heard my cents worth, and if you like you can read my signature
too. I don't care if you do or not, and I certainly don't feel that I'm
bragging by having it included. It's part of who I am. I'm sorry if you feel
offended by it.
