This may sound really strange in our "modern" day and age
but I don't use the .signature feature of news.  I manually
type my signature at the end of every article and letter that
I send.  "Why?" you ask.  Because when I used to use something
similar to .signature I found myself editing the signature
more often than not.  This way, my signature is always thought
out and is what I consider appropriate to the message and the
kinds of replies that I expect.

Maybe the solution to the signature problem is a little less
automation and a little more old fashioned human intelligence.
