Some guy turned up recently in one of the other ngs I read with a 5-page
long sig (I didn't count, I'm basing this on the fact that at the end of it
it said s/l "Well, that's my sig. It's only 5 pages long; I think it needs
to be longer.")

People soon complained, and he acted quickly to reduce it to 3 pages... the
guy just didn't seem to get it...

It's now shrunk because he changed his software, and it now only allows him
to have up to 256 characters. So he's just filled it with the URLs of all
the crap stuff he had in his sig before.
