I'm fairly sure if he attached the BZ2'd sigs (exact same sigs, just bz2'd
and tacked on like they are currently) would offend at least three camps,
and have the benifit of showing up many broken mailers, filters, and
various other mail related items.

Yes, I got that.  Except for the people saying they like them as-is.

In the absence of a clear consensus on the matter, I'm going to do
as I please.  Especially since I have a strong suspicion that neither
camp would change their evaluation of my sigs if I did compress them.
