  You know, the moment I thought about this question it ocurred to me
that the answer would represent a design solution for this person
representing himself as an internet designer.  

  Some designer, huh?

  Well, that aside, these are my suggestions:

>Is your business on the Internet?  We can get you there 
>for as low as $14.95 per month without any setup fees!

  This makes a good quote or personal phrase.  It goes at the bottom.

>You can see the Super Business Net WWW Home 
>Page at:

>  http://www.superb.com/www/pages/index.html

  This information can be compacted into a table of sorts, usually
opposite your name.

>or E-Mail us at:

>  webmaster@superb.com

  This is always good to know, especially if it differs from the
"FROM:" line in the message (which it doesn't).

>------------

  A division line is good, but putting it at the end is no good.  It
belongs at the beginning of the signature.

  So, for example, you might have:

:------------------------------------------------------------------:
: John Doe Smith     :: webmaster@superb.com                       :
: Super Business Net :: http://www.superb.com/www/pages/index.html :
:------------------------------------------------------------------:

  ***********************************************************
  * Is your business on the Internet?  We can get you there *
  * for as low as $14.95 per month without any setup fees!  *
  ***********************************************************

  Notice that everything in your signature is set-off.  So that the
casual reader does not mistake it for part of the message and read and
re-read the same text over and over again.

P.S.  That will be $25.00 for the advice, please.
