Removing a cross-posting without noting so in the body is bad manners;
it is akin to adding cross-posting.  See RFC1855 on that.  XP restored.

Wikipedia has no authority.  For all I know, the entry might have been
edited by yourself.  However, that page says nothing about hierarchies,
and has an example of posting to two different hierarchies.  It does not
currently support your assertion.

Neither does RFC 1855.

But it does describe signatures, and yours is not compliant.


If you are hoping to be employed in the future, you should heed what the
RFC has to say about that.  Employers won't want an arrogant misfit.
