No, actually I'm not kidding. I know my signature in fact is an
adaption and I think the original reads:

"Contrary to popular belief, Unix is user friendly. It just happens to
be selective about who it makes friends with."

I don't know how old the original really is. I use my signature for
over ten years now (maybe twelve) and back in these days when I started
using it I asked some person for permission to create and use this
adapation.
I don't object citing other people's signatures, but simply _copying_
well established signatures without even asking the originator does not
comply with my understanding of 'netiquette'.

Cheers,
        Martin.
