There is one good reason for having an elaborate, distinctive
signature at the end of one's postings.  It makes it easier
for readers to form a more distinct image of the poster.  Off
the top of my head I can think of the signatures of rabbit!jj,
tekcad!franka, gatech!spaf, jrc, etc.  It is easier for me to
associate certain types of articles (ex: frank adrian articles)
with a distinctinctive signature than with a simple name.  In 
some sense, I know posters better if the use a distinctive
signature.  This all depends on the poster CONSISTENTLY using
the same signature.
