Hi Charles!
Well, "Manuel" is my name and "Charles" is yours, and I feel pretty much
better knowing I am writting to "Charles". But my point is, what can you
expect from someone that calls himself "Jack the Ripper" and signs "JtR"?
I am not refusing the idea about long signatures, as I consider them
interesting and totally understandable, but, if someone wants to sign half a
page long because it makes him happy, that is not hurting me -or anyone
else- in anyway (I can read messages up to the signature and erase the whole
message before reading the rest of it)(well, yeah, someone may get hurt in
his liver, but I just don't want it to be me =) ). Getting even ten lines of
text signature on 100 messages should not really affect your downloading
time. HTML? well, that is another story.
Friends, we are doing a world wide fight here, and all this stuff about open
source and Linux is just the modern expression of FREEDOM itself. We canīt
be so blind of not seeing what is really going on: we live in an information
society, and this is the way wars are supposed to be in our times. We can
not win if we do not give an EXAMPLE of respecting everyone's freedom
OURSELVES.
If you want to start your own crusade against long signatures, well, it's up
to you. You are free to do that, too. But I believe we should all learn to
be tolerant.
Respectfully yours,
-Manuel. ( <=== my name =) )
