Just so that I am clear on your issue here: You believe it is "okay" for you to put your linkedin URL in your .sig, but Gadi must not be allowed to put it at the top of a post?
Yes, I think that's exactly right. It's a statement of what the sender perceives to be important about the email. I read email for the content; having the URL at the top is an assertion by the poster that he thinks his resume is more important than what he says. (Yes, I know some of you are about to hit reply to say "maybe it is from Gadi". Don't bother -- what he says is often quite valuable.) --Steve Bellovin, http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb
