I've heard of grammar Nazi's lurking on lists, but now we have signature Nazi's too? Haven't you all got something else better to do like finding an exploit or something rather than bicker over something that amounts to little more than a tag line? Cripes, this has to be the stupidest argument/waste of time that I've seen in a while.

I don't disagree. It would appear he definitely had the choice since it doesn't seem to have passed through a corporate mailserver that enforces it outside his control.
And all of that aside, who cares? We see signatures like that all the time on mailing lists. It's pretty obvious they're useless in this context.Useless in any context. Sigs. like that are very unprofessional. Even if I know they are nonsense, such disclaimers come across as mildly bullying. -- Hawaiian Astronomical Society: http://www.hawastsoc.org HAS Deepsky Atlas: http://www.hawastsoc.org/deepsky
Useless, yes. Unprofessional, also yes. But no more so than the long winded reply that followed it. I'd actually argue that annoying bit of easily ignored text was less intrusive than the reply from Nick Fitzgerald. I'm not sure about everyone else here, but those legalese tags at the end of emails on lists register about as much as the ads on webpages. They don't. - --- Tremaine Lea Network Security Consultant Intrepid ACL "Paranoia for hire" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Darwin) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJGqWJfAAoJEKGa22zRy9WCA4cIAKiFs/73n+tXkJhv/RiB90j5 kWOooPuzXQWtadHAIU52e8ZGsOPmdZBH1iNl+CIOmJVGdcLpuLGpacQVZjlTrbzP d13RAoixHVX+OFbwhucmlKPPKt1YsCwJHcM2xUPfG+BlTPbKQ5+qTO6Z21fa7tjP 0e8mo1GRK1hAGOmY1F+0OYPrT5G7GKXERh6p8v+guPisHtCB/NpW1do8D8uoBrI1 FVTLS2b9Stgnslbo/hKWrd66jvzCE6rGeoyZWHanFBfy54MB7PzJV5ag9K2eTx0P SUOPD2n9dSIY0rRDL6QU1O9EyF9C+BBMn738Su5kvPhhUzJ0WjL2zD7tNWIjlbQ= =SpEd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
