Hmmmmm, Using a vi variant editor are we?  The key note here is that:

If (you are using  **** TIN ****)
   then
     tin will select a random signature file automagically 
     from your .Sig directory.
   .and.
	tin will prepend the file $HOME/.sigfixed to the signature file
     before appending the signature to your article.
end if
