After many on and off list responses my signature stays....For anyone who believes that professing my faith is self-serving..then i agree. If you want to know why ask me off list. Let's focus on the task at hand and not make such a fuss over a sig. Ironically my impetus comes from an off list response and i quote," As an avid athiest and his sig has been in place for over 4 years..and is much larger than mine....(around 20+ lines) My sig is now 4 lines.

My "foundation" verse: Isiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
Maybe a better plan is to refer something positive to "God" or the "Grand architect of the universe" or something which doesn't necessarily offend non christians. Then again, the athiests could make the case that references to any god are offensive but then again, the athiests are all wet (tm):). <sorry couldn't resist> <ducking> On Wed, 7 Aug 2002, William Warren wrote:

It's not just the total number of lines. It's also about the number of characters on each line -- .sigs should generally be wrapped at 72-75 characters, just like e-mail messages. -- Brad Knowles, <brad.knowles@skynet.be> "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.

i'm certainly glad the moderator of the list is watching to make sure people don't drone on endlessly about such non-operational issues such as SPAM. the length of one's signature and/or expressing one's religious beliefs must have some obscure operational context. --jim fully expecting to have posting privileges revoked for another 6 months.
Hmmm, do pgp sig's count and aren't they longer? I still like the idea that using longer sigs will use up extra unused fiber:) On Wed, 7 Aug 2002, Jim Mercer wrote:
