I don't intend to hound anybody off anywhere. I find the sig a bit
tedious, particularly given the lack of a sig-separator ("\n-- \n")
which would make my client hide it, but I can live with it. The
statement that there was nothing to be done about it seemed a bit
silly but I tried to make constructive suggestions about how the OP
could work around the corporate restriction. He is very welcome here,
of course.

I wholeheartedly object to the assertion that this criticism was
motivated by Ian apparently not fitting into some idea of what a geek
should be. I don't know where you got that idea. I think it's an
unfair characterisation.

I hope Ian will take the constructive criticism in the friendly spirit
which was meant.
