Well, Stuart, it really doesn't bother me personally. After all, I
manage my tbbeta mail via Gmail and a DSL connection. ;-) But I just
figured that such long "signatures" are not very friendly and they
probably go out to other innocents besides all of us on this mailing
list. If I were in your position, I would try my best to avoid such an
imposition.

One other thought - maybe you could skip the PGP and the cute
quotation when sending messages to this list. I can't see how they add
much - other than maybe 12-13 lines of largely useless signature and
2-3 lines of text above your sig.

Again, please don't take offense. Ultimately, this is a moderator
decision, not mine - and it seems the moderators have made an
exception in your case. I only mention all this because I appreciate
the rationale for sig delimiters. I have even been struggling to
impose the tbbeta list rules about top-quoting and sig delimiters on
one of the mailing lists that I moderate.
