Great option there viro, pointing out sigs can be turned off. So that the many need not be constantly offended by what others unaware, use as personality, humor, identity and information.
I agree it can be overdone at times here, but page down keyboard input, rather than wasted and tiring scrolling past the so termed agravation, is also an accomedation the so offended might employ.
Ahhh to only long for the good old days....
Some of these avatars in their sillyness, are unessential too , gosh dang it...j/k
These emoticon and their useage should likewise be regulated, somehow, but that's for another thread, later....
Sorry for constantly agraviating the many with what I thought of as entertainment, in keeping with the general theme of the site.
It's a useful remedy you suggested so that fewer folks here need not be pizzed off and constantly aggravated.
kudos
