Wrong analogy. In this case, his sig is perfectly in sync with
usenet practice. No one can complain that he put this sig in the
first place. Nothing in the existing rules of this list indicate
that what he did was reprehensible. If the owner now wishes to
establish such rules so be it. To my knowledge he hasn't formally
established such rules yet. But violently criticizing someone for
violating non existing rules is rather bizarre...
