Strange about that.  I have seen more long sigs than short
over the years I been on the web and involved with email
lists.  At least her sig contains actual data, not fancy
ascii art or abuse like some I've seen.

And yes, I know my sig is also longer than four lines.

BTW, why the quotes around Linda.  Are you saying you
think someone else posted under her name?
