I *strongly* agree with Miguel. All this signature/cookie stuff on a
busy mailing-list is disturbing and strange, to say the least. Luckily
the snip-enuff-procedure has been understood pretty well. No 48 kB
posts here saying "well said". Yes, there are mailing-lists like that
:-(

If I remember correctly, Miguel said earlier that the main thing on a
list like this is to get information. Couldn't agree more. I don't
give a damn *who* sends whatever solutions to whatever problems. I
care about the problem-solving and ideas. If it comes from listmember
Dr. X (with an invalid signature and a random quotation from a classic
book) then it's OK - if the solution works, that is. If it comes from
a green thingy from Mars who doesn't want want to make
himself/herself/itself all that important and neglects the "I'm me,
really"-stuff then it's even better - his/hers/its mail is probably
much more compact.

Personal mails, of course, are a totally different thing.
