You may not be aware of it, but actually there are someone who pays for every single bit transmitted on the net.. And a sig file is meant to be seen often... It can be ratgher irritating to skip through vast amounts of mumbo-jumbo. -- c.

Asking this bunch of eightballs if a sig can be too long is like putting Orson Wells in charge or the Twinkies. :-) Just kidding. Actually, on this group, most sigs are OK, especially if you change them from time to time. On most other groups, the net guideline of 4 to 6 lines would be good to follow. Email is another matter, you're only sending it to one person's account.
