Well I have discussed my SIG FILE with quite a few people who I value
their opinions. These include people who are in ABUSE depts at Web
Hosting companies & ISP's. They see NO PROBLEM with my SIG FILE. But I
know you want to control everyone & make them follow you beliefs &
values. GET OVER IT !!!!!
