Rule of thumb: if you use a warlord-bait type .sig, use spaces instead of 
tabs. That way, it doesn't get QUITE as messed up when quoted.

I like the Feynman diagram in the body of the post better, anyhow.

Officially and from a well steeped tradition a sig is unwarlordable if it is
four lines or less long (ie. inews friendly) and is less than 80 columns wide. 
If it meets those criterion it really has no business showing up here and
boring us all with its presence.

My name has had the unfortunate coincidence of becoming associated with this
standard as I am seen as one of the last of the stuffy, party-pooping Old
Guard that still remembers this rule. I do not poach under the four line limit,
and in the past nagged others when they did, since sending /etc/termcap was
too succinct of a comment on their lack of grace to be understood.

But as for the fresh rakes, I'm afraid they're simply without standards
and poach freely, with the unsurprising result that their shows are
simply not up to snuff. They seem to want to bring the most tediously dull
sigs to everyone's attention, more for the apparently for the effect of seeing
their own names than actually amusing their audience (Or to be t.b-ish,
"How do we do it? VOLUME!"). 

So no, currently your sig CAN be flamed if it's under the four line limit.
But it will be by poseurs of no distinction, and in the most amateurish way.
Send them mail from Dick Hertz --they can be amusing to toy with briefly.

There's no escape from a long .sig, though you read it on every message.
The readers of a.f.w enjoy them.  Just see the smile on each reader's face.

I will not, repeat not, comment on that note on the end there.
I repeat: I will not, repeat not, comment on that note on the end there.

However, since there is no ban on the mentioning of the upcoming hash-shortage
in Finland, I will comment on that instead.

There is a hash-shortage comimg up in Finland very soon now.

At the very least he could've centered the text properly.

Aw, come on - someone had to tell you how to do it sometime, even if you
were better at Unix than some and found it in the man pages.  You
weren't born with the internal knowledge to be able to instantaniously
know how to automatically add a sig to your account.

it was in, say, Outer Mongolia. "fgclay01@ulkyvx02.louisville.edu" is an
Internet address? I might have thought it was his real name. wouldn't want

I am afraid that Tony is a type 3 offender; every new sig he comes up with
is just as bad as the last.
He is watching me write this, and complaining about it. He is even complaining
about the fact that I am telling you that he is complaining.

Bad luck Tony, try again. You might come up with an acceptable sig one day.

Yeah, Zappa is really sensitive to throwing _anything_ on stage.  I once
saw someone walk up to the stage and slide a cassette tape along the floor
(it wasn't thrown).  Zappa stopped the show and said they would leave if
anything else was thrown on the stage.  Last year I described the concert
show when someone threw some food onstage.  The culprit was brought onstage
and almost forced to lick it up ("Dine like you have never dined before!")
by the bodyguard, Big John ("John's got a sausage, yeah, yeah").
