ATTENTION PLEASE! The Moderators would like to remind you of the
widely-accepted internet guidelines for internet signature lines (i.e. the
quips, links, epigrams etc. that are found at the bottom of people's
messages).

Signatures should be NO MORE THAN 6-8 LINES in total, excluding separator
lines (the _________ or +-+-+-+-+ or ======== separating signatures from
main text), which should each be no more than one line. We've recently noted
some with more than 15 lines. This is a no-no and we're going to start
sending out Howlers unless certain witches and wizards pull their socks up.
::menacing brandish of Rock::

The reason behind this is that YahooGroups adds a few lines onto each
message, and the Moderators have added a few lines of quick links to remind
people of particular useful things (like the VFAQ). Added to very long
signature files, that can make over 20 lines of non-message: longer indeed
than some messages!

Thank you for your attention, and remember, "A Posting Day Is A Happy Day!"
