Wasn't it just a couple of people that had problems with the political
sigs?
...the usual suspects ;-)
I guess I'm not clear on why anyone would have any political sigs, right, left, or middle wing, on an OS mailing list. Is Mandrake, or Linux in general, inherently political? I didn't realize I was making a political statement when I installed it on my hard drive. Is that stated some where on their website?
Please, say it ain't so! ;-)
I don't think people choose their sigs according to their mailing lists. Some use the same sig for everything; others have a random sig. I'm sure there's some way of automating the sig according to the "To:" field, but I've never heard of anyone doing it.
As a point of netiquette, I think it's usually a bad idea to comment on people's sigs in a list (especially if it's a hostile comment, which will then result in a twenty-message thread). Unless it's on the OT list, of course ;-)
