Good of you to post this.

But your sig is out of line.

You should be using a sig delimiter "-- " so that people who don't want to see sigs
don't have to, and it should be only 4 lines max.

You are basically spamming the Usenet and this is VERY uncool.

This will be the last time I read one of your posts until you change your ways.
