I've read your post a couple of times, and I am frankly baffled. Why
does this annoy you so much? It's a couple of lines at the end of a post
that are incredibly easy to ignore.

Some people post to more places than LUGNET. They may not want to change
their .sig files every time they switch between LUGNET and another news
server.

I think that is completely ridiculous. Is having someone's position in a
.sig file detrimental to LUGENT as a whole? No. So there's no reason to
take up Todd's time and effort in banning something as silly as this.

I don't. I personally don't care one way or another. If someone posted
their entire resume into a .sig file, that could get annoying, but if it
sticks to the long-accepted USENET standard of ~4 lines, then it doesn't
take up too much space, it's not annoying to delete in a reply, etc. - in
short, there's no reason not to allow it.
