No, I hadn't seen that thread. I did not know that such a thread
existed until now.
In any case, you may notice that I have quietly dropped the sig. Fuck
it, I'll miss a message here or there, but it's better than pissing
everybody off. I had no idea that would be the case.

Really? Which post? I _don't_ post without doing my homework, but
often I just google as I have found that google takes me to manpages
online if that will help. So long as I have the right keywords, I
usually google very well (otherwise you would hear much more of me). I
may have simply not known which keywords or programs I needed.

No, that's all right- let me know if I'm a screwup. Trust me, people
have been worse to me that you could ever do online :) I'm not the
"cool geek", more of the "unsocial nerd" variety, at least that was
until my wife got hold of me and made me into a decent human being. I
would have preferred an explanation, though, don't leave me to guess.
There is no manpage on that (well, there are etiquette guidelines, but
I follow them).
