Sheesh, Meach, don't pick on him just because his .sig has that clever
DestructoTab(R) copy protection that outwitted your feeble attempt to quote it.
You're just upset that your sceme to pirate his .sig was foiled.

Brian: tabs are not good in .sigs.  Try:
% expand <.signature >.s
% rm .signature
% mv .s .signature
...to change the tabs to spaces [on a UNIX machine.]

Well within the McQuary Doctrine, but I think I may be excused.

Yes, I said "I have a rubber brain." It is a true statement; I bought
my rubber brain from Archie McPhee, which also sells Hell notes. And I
said it knowing both ways it could be interpreted with amusing
consequences; in layman's terms, IT WAS A FUCKING JOKE, OK?

Or in wanker's terms, it was obvious bait and Tig fell for it like a
one-ton ounce of gold.

I was about to post a minor flame regarding Urban's warlording of a
sig that's in the HOTPW, but then I did something unprecedented:
checked my facts.

Stealth Dave is *not* in the HOTPW.

George, wassamattayou? You got a real job or something? Enshrine this
sucker, posthaste!

As for Urban: yeah, we know. We've seen it before. Some of us have
even contributed some more-or-less witty commentary about it.
