Ha! Good one Daniel. fwiw, I thought Paul's comment was ludicrous. Spam is UCE/UBE. Assuming the email that the .sig arrives in isn't UCE/UBE, whatever arrives with that email (barring malware payloads) can't be described as UCE/UBE/Spam. It might be stupid as recent discussions of attached disclaimers can attest, but they're not UCE/UBE/Spam either. There's a lot worse things that can happen in a .sig than charity promotions. Take a gander through alt.ascii-art for some real travesties. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
