[OT] Signature. Was : Re: AW: [VOTE] Release Apache MINA 1.0.9 and
1.1.6.
Hi Nikolaus !
At first glance, I thought that your signature was far too long to fit
any kind of Netiquette (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signature_block)
*but*, thanks to wikipedia, I found this little pearl :
http://theotherthomasotter.wordpress.com/2007/02/09/german-bureaucracy-coming-to-your-email-now/
So to speak, I have no idea what the guys who dictated this stupid rule
had in mind, except to help spammer to get new email @ for free and
lobbyist to easily fill their directories with the complete company
hierarchy for almost the cost of a few mails :)
I thought Kafka was Czech, not German :)
That makes my day !
Thanks for your vote, btw !
PS: we don't have those kind of rules in France, *yet* ... But you bet
we will soon !

Beside the side effect - whining muppets -, it's a burden for us,
moderators, as a lot of such mails with such 'heavy' signatures are
considered as likely spams, and we have to validate dozens of them every
day...

Of course - and it's tiny compared to the block that the regulators
force us to put on the bottom of emails from work (I work at an
investment bank).
I'm pretty tired of muppets whining at me that its against netiquette.
The effect is that I basically can't contribute in any way.
I can't see this sort of thing going away. We'll have to accept it if
the net is to be a tool for adults to use. Shouldn't be too hard to
make it so that mailers can fold it like they do with headers.

I guess that when you are to comply to this kind of "law" as a big
company, the signature is added automatically by the mail server ?

1) That rule is completely insane !
2) Who decides if an e-mail is business-related or not ?
I would consider most mails on this mailing list as NOT business-related.
