Subject: modified eos signatures

Pete, I just changed many of our EOS signatures to reflect the new YouTube
handle (and also fixed some other outdated stuff in the process).  Here's
our base signature.  Let me know if you want others.  BTW, these links all
start with http.  Should we do something so they start with https ?
