Oh yeah. A post about a email reflector having to due with legal issues belongs
in a newsgroups for discussing amateur gear. Show me the logic in that!

At no point did I say that the OP had posted appropriately. The
point I made was that what *you* said was even worse than what
the OP did.

And while we discuss Usenet protocols, your signature is

1) too long
2) lacks the appropriate delimiter line, "-- ", between
it and the text of your message.

By what standard? Yours?

Do you know anything at all about Usenet message formating?

"If you include a signature keep it short. Rule of thumb
is no longer than 4 lines."
rfc1855 "Netiquette Guidelines"

"signature
The three or four line message at the bottom of a piece of email
or a Usenet article which identifies the sender. Large signatures
(over five lines) are generally frowned upon. See also:
Electronic Mail, Usenet."
rfc1983 "Internet Users' Glossary"


"4.3. Usenet Signature Convention
There is a convention in Usenet news of using "-- " as the
separator line between the body and the signature of a
message."
rfc2646 "The Text/Plain Format Parameter"

Here is a more detailed explanation:

You can go to google and find *thousands* of web sites
which explain signatures in detail.

Drop that last two lines and put a proper separator in there.
