Well, now that this has come up I've reduced my sig even further.
It used to be (awhile ago):

I'm still trying to think what I should do about the SEND HELP
thing...Recently more people have been using it, so I'm inclined to leave
it in but DO like my new short sig...will probably add two more lines, at
max another three...but keeping it short is definetly a good idea.
I do think that three to four to five lines of text should be the max and
definetly the whole thing should be no longer than six lines. Also, don't
forget not to make it too long horizontally as some people's screens wrap
things, then it looks funny..
With my new sig (for the moment),
