.SIGS <READ PLEASE

	Umm, this is just MHO, but if you are going to continue to post 
.sig files, then perhaps you should cut out the personal info of the people that
they came from?  I don't know about you, but if I had a .sig file, I would only
want people that I sent e-mail to (ie, people I have an interest in) in seeing it.  Otherwise I would put it in my .plan

This is an important point.  What do people think?  I agree that email
sigs should require permission before re-posting, but what about news
postings?  I'm figuring that if I'm reposting a sig here, my intent
is favorable, so it's okay... but I admit it's borderline...

   Technically, I imagine that posting anything originating with somebody
else requires permission.  But in practice, I don't think anybody would
post a sig to the world and then carp because it was reposted as an
example of a sig.

   I would say that reposting of a sig that was originally posted to a
news group is probably fine until proven otherwise.  As for email sigs, the
first poster said to cut out the personl info.  That may be enough.

   Further comments?
