Having been on the recieving end of numerous flames about my sigs, I
can assure you that it's the poor formatting of your sig that is the
cause of offence. As everyone knows, the delimiter is a double dash
followed by a space, an optional carriage return and a newline. The
sig itself should be no longer than 4 lines long, each at most 72
characters wide.

Obviously, there are other rules that need to be followed, but that's
enough to make sure that you evade all but the grumpiest of sig nazis.

You mentioned Hitler! Deliberately, I warrant, so the thread may
continue. :)
