Also important IMO would be that folks with big honking
sigs should use a sig delimiter.

A sig delimiter is a line that starts with "--" and contains nothing
else.

When someone replies, everything after the "--" will be left out
of the reply. It's automatic, and almost all newsreaders will
function this way.

So, put a sig delimiter *before* your big honking sigs.

In theory everyone should snip off all the trailing stuff in
their replies anyway, but you know how that goes.
