- I tend to agree, however, in case you missed it ;-), a .sig recently caused a
- flame war, where the original .sig poster choose to defend it publicly in these
- forums, rather than take it off-net to e-mail. Totally inappropriate, in my
- own opinion. I think, therefore, the 'group' is a bit sensitive to perceived
- inflammatory .sigs here.

- Hopefully it'll all die down. Don't fan the fire.
