Article-I.D.: physics.118 Posted: Mon Aug 9 12:43:33 1982 Received: Tue Aug 10 02:11:43 1982 The reason I sign addresses in my articles is so that people may respond to me despite the fact that the article they read has gone through several machine which don't forward through-mail. Thus, the signiture is *not* redundant ... at least in my case. ...alice!gill, gill@mc p.s. Also, since I have an arpa address which is easier to get to for some people, I relate that information as well.
