>What is the consensus on people using sigs when posting a message to a list?

I agree with the 4-line maximum, but a more important point is that the
list owner should not have long header files on all messages.  On one
list I know, the header file is so long that you have to go to the
third screen to start reading the message!

Too long for a signature, but good questions.
