I concur, Ed. I've used a number of anti-virus products over the last
25 years. Never once did I feel like a sig-line was needed to announce
which one.

I get those all the time in emails from local residents. As if I give a
rip how they're sending email.

Ditto that. I don't need to provide free advertising for the car
dealership. Besides, I bought my car in Memphis. That sort of
advertising doesn't mean a thing where I live now. No one is going to
drive to Memphis to buy a car based on the advertising frame they
installed around my license plate. That came off the minute I got home.
