I often post without a sig file. Not intentionally but because I use different computers at different locations and most of the time I am rushed and do not take my time with the email. I suggest that everyone just do the best that they can with the sig files. If you post a question or an answer and use technical terms no one should question your post. You do not have to put anything but the basics in a sig file like the one I am using. A lot of time I just type it in because it is small.
