Does everyone else understand why I always visit the JCF with signatures off? :-)
Today's vocabulary lesson from The Jargon File: Warlording. Look it up. And that definition doesn't even account for garish HTML and images.
For tomorrow's lesson, study the McQuary Limit.
I agree with Strato (and a few others on this thread), it's not necessarily the inappropriateness of the sigs around here that get me, it's the abusively long ones with eye-grating HTML, images, and ASCIIart that irritate me to no end. Honestly, if it were my sole decision, it'd be plaintext-only (accounting for a sane amount of line breaks and auto-linking URLs) with a decent character limit. But, it's not my sole decision. So there. :-)
Yes, I realize that under my own rules, my sig would have to be changed. Which I would do.
