Maybe Donna Frappier could connect to internet directly and have one for herself. I would have no problem with her contributing to this newsgroup and having a .sig attached to the contribution. My point was it would be wrong for me to post an advertisement for my business in this group. If I have a suggestion, help or question, a .sig is not wrong, as long as its reasonable. >If everybody would just relax and ignore the postings that irritate you, life >would be a lot less stressful.

Because someone is keeping all of these articles somewhere in an archive and it adds up. Also, more data takes more time updating newsfeeds. Look at the problem globally rather than locally. Even if I and everyone else (10+ ;-) ) deleted the message. I still had to be sent to my site and it will still be archived. > >[advertisement for eztravel deleted due to length and point of discussion] > >...Now back to out regularly scheduled discussion, Let me know when your first book is released.
