Must you include this multi-line signature every single time you
post? Not to mention there wasn't even a message this time.


Dealing in the world of spoofing and security, yes. Because if
you have my key, you can verify that this post was indeed posted by me,
and only me.

As to the article, I apologise that it wasn't included. Here it

proud to offer our customers expanded options at both our Atlanta and
