I am seriously asking.
What I fail to understand is what difference does it make if text is above or below a sig delimiter? Either it is offensive or it is not. I and others have been blasted for supposedly offensive remarks. However, if you read the sigs of many people who post on this list (and even lots of Debian developers who post on the developer lists) you will find words/material that is equally as offensive, if not more. What is the requirement? It can be offensive if the text is a properly formatted sig? It can be offensive if there is at least an equal amount of on-topic non-offensive text? Seriously.
