My Dear Abbas:

I don't underestand why everybody is attacking me today! Maybe there is 
something wrong with me, I don't know :-)

Anyway Abbas, rules about email and newsgroup signatures are clearly 
discussed and defined in the netiquette. I have read it and it covers 
about the style of your signature, about how long it should be, and so 
on, but never in it have I seen that putting personal beleifs and 
quotas in signature is wrong. 

Signature is a signature Abbas. It should be regarded as so. Signature 
is where people usually put something they like, something they beleive 
in. some people also use it as a humorous tool.

But, your signature doesn't have to be about your subject of your 
message. Indeed it is something seperate, and completely different than 
the message itself.

I usually put a quota or a statement that I see somewhere, and that I 
like, as my sig. And I also usually change my sig once a month. 
Remember that sig is put there by the mail client automatically, and I 
can't edit it each time I send a message. 

I have the right to talk about my beleifs Abbas. Specially in a 
signature, where I beleive it is appropriate to do so. However, I 
clearly mark my signature as one, using the famous '-- ' sign. If you 
don't like signatures, or my signature, then you can simply tell your 
mail client to ignore signatures and do not show them. 

It is feasable (and indeed very easy) for someone to ignore signatures 
(I think all email clients support this feature). But it is not doable 
for me to edit each signature, because someone in a ML might not like 
it.

If you plan to respond to this, I invite you to do so off-topic, as this 
is a discussion between me and you, and I think it doesn't interest all 
parties involved.

Cheers
