    Just to quote wikipedia:

    In e-mail and newsgroup usage, another type of signature exists which is independent of one's language. Users can set one or more lines of custom text known as a signature block to be automatically appended to their messages. This text usually includes a name, contact information, and sometimes quotations and ASCII art. A shortened form of a signature block, only including one's name, often with some distinguishing prefix, can be used to simply indicate the end of a post or response. Some web sites also allow graphics to be used. Note, however, that this type of signature is not related to electronic signatures or digital signatures, which are more technical in nature and not directly understandable by humans

    I did not "insist on a privacy invading Log-in"
    I just think that it's kind of fucked up to post a slur on the entire slashdot user base as an anonymous coward.
    But you, I give you credit for at least not being anonymous.
    I have no love for Facebook. I have no dog in this fight.
    And I can't help but notice that you have given up your privacy, number 574257.

    $250,000 is chump change to a political campaign. Just the Email list with it was worth far more.
