To this point let me add only that a lot of people must never check
their own postings after sending them out, because an awful lot of
articles have appeared in recent months with their long and clever 
signature lines included twice, whatever the cause. Looks very swift,
kind of like someone driving for twenty miles with their turn signal
flashing. Really emphasizes the impact of that clever signature.
