3.0 What to Put in Your Signature and Finger Files


It is good netiquette to keep your signature to four lines or fewer.
And many news posters, such as some versions of inews(1), will not
post an article that has a signature with more than four lines in
it.  So, put large large pictures, your philosophy of life , etc. in
your finger files or in your Web pages and point people to those in
your signature.

For signatures it's a good idea to keep the width less than 75
characters so that if your signature is included in a followup
preceded by an attribution character (like `> '), each line will
still be on one line.
