Then I suggest you not bother to read any sigs, as they are not part of 
the message posted and clearly are not of interest to you. I will 
continue to attach whatever sigs I like to end of my messages (they are 
randomly pulled from a set anyway).

"Executives in the PC business use the word "sexy", in such a way that 
I'm always surprised to discover that their children aren't adopted. 
The Mac interface is not "sexy", and it would be grotesque to want it 
to be. It is, in fact, playful, often well over the line into 
frivolity. The bouncing icons (and the puffs of smoke and the 
pipe-organ speech synthesizer and the way dialogs tidily resize and the 
drop-shadows on the windows and the jellybean buttons and the eject key 
on the keyboard) are not individually rationalizable on utilitarian 
grounds, and they do not pretend they mean to be. They are there to, in 
aggregate, change the nature of your relationship with the device. They 
are joyful, and they hope their joy is infectious." -- Glenn McDonald
