One day I noticed my .sig included in someone's reply to a message I had sent. Ridiculous!! Full name, address, a bunch of phone numbers, email addresses, pager info, IM info, an "inspirational" quote (that really only means anything to me)...  How many times does someone need to see that? And how many messages do I send that are SHORTER than my actual email "signature"?

So I came up with this idea! I've dubbed it the "signat-url". (In case you're having a slow day, that's "signature" with slight letter-play at the tail-end.) I pronounce it "SIG-na-choo-are-el" which is reasonably close to the original "signature". Instead of the bulk of text at the end of every email message I send, there will be a single url. To my knowledge, it's something original up with which I exclusively have come. I therefore copyright (c) 1999 the term "signat-url". Use it all you want. Tell your friends. Just don't try and make money with it!

My signat-url.
