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.
