I read most of my news at 1200 baud, and the harm is, to me, VERY obvious. The real pain - not at all un- common when you have 5 and 6 line headers - si the message that would fit on the screen if not for the signature but forces me into more just because of the "harmless whitespace". That is slow even on a 9600 baud line, when the system is loaded! I have reduced my own signature to two lines (from 3) for just these reasons. -- Jerry decvax!yale-comix!leichter leichter@yale
