When I first saw this sig I was all for supporting the FSF in this 
campaign. That was until I read the web page. I found that in part it 
is self defeating, because it contains the following.

 "Receiving Word attachments is bad for you because they can carry 
  viruses........"

Two paragraphs later

 "To convert the file to HTML using Word is simple......."

Apparently the FSF oppose receiving  a virus sent with a Word 
document, but if the virus is sent via HTML, thats OK.

Bill G must have laughed himself to sleep after reading that.

The FSF will get no support from me on this one.

Rob
