abusive signature block

[John Esak]

Wall, I realize it is nothing to judge standards by... But Outlook does NOT
work that way. Signatures (or what they call a signature ) only pops into
New messages being sent.  A reply will not pop them up, just the original
message and the ">quoting" setup previously.

Now, maybe other MUA's consider signatures something that gets appended
*after* the user presses SEND... As must be the case with the MrMailman
software of this forum. It appends the Forum stuff... You never see it.

Outlook Prepends the signature on a blank page and you get to keep it,
modify it, push it up or down... Lose it, etc. 

The only reason I bring this up, is if George uses this type of software, he
could easily just dump the large signature when he is sending to the forum
and let it ride for all else.  I don't think his boss would mind this...
He's not doing "business" with messag4es sent here.  For that matter, how
many of us actually *have* a personal email address and a business email
address?  Most of us use just one to cover it all, and yes, I know this is
probably not the best way to do things. I'm just saying it works out that
way. Could you imagine Bill not using Bill at celestial.com or Tom not using
Tom at microlite.com for personal emailing.  What the heck would personal
emailing be anyway.

Oh wait, you mean that porn stuff I get late at night through my yahoo
acc0ount??

... Never mind ... (said in his best Rosanne Rosanadana voice... :-)
