However, in most newsgroups, especially those where discussions are often quite serious (for whatever reason), readers don't appreciate long sigs. It does take up unnecessary disk space on news servers and the long term effect is, the administrators cutting down on the number of days articles are held due to lack of space. That's why we have newsgroups like this one, dedicated to those gifted with creativity and/or a lotta patience. Joe Yong.
