abusive signature block

[Fairlight]

When you have your own domain, with the right setup (either decent hosting,
or your own system), you have unlimited addresses, as God intended. :)

If not, that's what GMail is for.  I don't even need them and I have three
GMail accounts.  Well, I need one for Google Voice and a few other apps I
use there.  But I don't need the other two luxury ones I rarely use.

I don't think the problem is technical.  We're probably beating a dead
horse on that count.

I think the problem is that people don't/won't/can't stand up to inane
policies made by utterly clue-challenged people in positions of too much
authority for their mental capacities, and just say, "No."  In this
economy, I suppose I understand it, if it means someone's job to disobey
the policy.  But in normal circumstances in a sane economy, were I employed
full-time by someone else like I was 15 years ago, I'd be the first in line
to just "accidentally" happen to delete the damned things -every single
time-.  You know...cos I don't have -any- issues with authority.  :)

So if it's company policy to keep it in, it might be company policy that
at work someone can't use GMail.  Either way, I think it comes down to a
choice whether to obey someone's whim, not a technical ability to do or not
do so if one actually wanted.

Incidentally...pr0n is good any time of day, not just at night.  In
fact...I think a new slogan is in order:  "Pr0n:  It's not just for dessert
anymore!"
