Well, let's quote it several more times--its a lot more interesting than what pings a felonies and which ones wash windows.
Just trying to be helpful to someone that might not know that 14 line sigs are about as bad as vcards. 'dats all. The sig may have some purpose within creighton.edu, but means absolutely zilch to folks on a mailing list. Especially when your contribution consists of a one-liner.
As for quoted material, hah.
HTH.

The message that I actually replied to was several hundred lines of HTML code.
And I submit that the sig, all but 3 lines of which have a specific purpose, did not waste the bandwidth committed to the drivel about what some redneck judge did.
Oh, and how much of the quoted material was useful--the 14 line sig?
not nearly as much as your 14-line mega.sig has. good god man, trim that down to, er, four lines. =)
kthnx.

Thanks so much for your ever-lasting contribution to this list. Like those who have come before you (Jim Phlemming, Bob Allisat, and kysi ferul all come to mind here, but surely I'm forgetting some), you help remind us how to configure procmail. For those not in the know, something like the following will do the trick: :0 * ^From: Larry Sheldon <lsheldon@creighton.edu> /dev/null Perhaps we should organize a central repository of e-mail addresses of known net.k00ks, to help craft some filters accordingly? Now, back to our regularly scheduled discussion of the Cisco 7200VXR and incompatible PA's... -adam
