Use of EICAR AV test string in signatures

I'd just like to point out to anyone currently doing this that using the
EICAR anti-virus test string in your email signature file, while moderately
funny, causes all of your messages to be trapped by my AV filter, as well as
any replies that don't edit out the test string.

I'm tired of combing through my spam/AV filter looking for such messages in
case they contain something of interest, so from now on I'm just not going
to bother to read them.
