here at MSNews.

Oh, so you must work for Microsoft then I guess...

 

[Si Ballenger]

IMO, recognition and respect is earned from hands on, working with the
public, not from billboards. These are newsgroups and not a place for
commercials.

So what is the above MS sock puppet stuff? ;-)

So, are you insinuating that a signature is the same as spam? If so, that
may be something to bring into light for discussion. However, my signature
comes with a reply to a post, never without.

 

[Kelly]

It is very common for posters to have/use signatures. Just as the groups
you belong to or frequent. As per your question, again this is common
for/within the groups I work.

 

[David Candy]

It's not only common on MSNews server. On Usenet one is allowed a 4 line sig on any topic one wants. But these usenet people very rarely understand their own rules.

 

[Kelly]

Thanks, David. I don't read the rules, it seems I either create new ones or
break them with these folks. Oh well....

Technically, if one makes an honest effort to answer questions in a NG
and has a .sig that points to your 100% commercial site it's not spam.
In other words, if I ran a hosting service and answered questions here
and had my .sig direct people to my site it wouldn't be spam. A .sig is
just a .sig. Many folks have have them that show where they
work, for example.

Thanks for the comment, Ed. )

I think Marco was pointing out the apparent contradiction of your posting of
"These are newsgroups and not a place for commercials" being followed by a
couple of commercials. Obviously you use the same signature all the time,
and I have no problem with it. But it is still funny, just like saying: "you
should NEVER say NEVER".

I'm with you in that Al.
AFAIK netiquette says to limit a signature to 4 lines. Kelly's signature
is more like a vcard of letter size
And if a message can hide behind an attached vcard IMO that's funny too.
