[blparent] Rude people

Mon Aug 20 17:34:02 UTC 2012

I never seen an email signature over five lines. The only exception is those non-meaningful non-legally binding want to be legal disclaimers at the end of emails that to this day have never been upheld by any court. But I don't understand why email signatures have to be so long, or even express what the author thinks feels or wants to display. It's meaningless, and doesn't help anyone
