Hmmm, you talk about netiquette and then you add about 15-20 or so 
lines of garbage to each of your messages. Is this supposed to be a 
sig.? If so, why isn't there a separator to denote that and why are you 
400% over the accepted limit on the length thereof? If it isn't a sig., 
what relevance has it to the topic at hand?

I suppose you'll come back with some clever answer, but really this 
just smacks of hypocrisy. I am not interested in reading all this crap, 
so kindly excise it from your posts to this list.
