Although some sigs are certainly worthy of a posting, the big problem
is the repeat factor. How many times have: roses, Beavis and Buthead,
globe.vt, etc  been posted, and everyone gets sick of seeing them over
and over. The same goes for sigs. There's no denying that the globe.vt
file was rather cool, but if it were to be attached to every single
post by a certain person...

Variety is the key!
