Since whining was invited :-), IMHO your signature should drop the
bounding lines (silly), the return address (already all over your
mail and postings), and merge the two lines of blatent advertising
into one. Four lines. Four.
I don't care if it looks like a business card, I don't want to see
it on everything you send. If you want to send stuff like that, put it
into X-headers so people can filter it.
A four line sig follows. Count 'em, four.
