Re: Some trade Ideas???

Not his fault.  At one point my office told us we had to set up a signature 
"using all information needed to give the recipient every bit of info to 
tell them who you are, what you do, and how to reach you by every means you 
have".

The result?  Myself and a few other wiseacres set a signature including 
desk location, longitude and latitude, which hemisphere, planet and solar 
system we were in, and a job description ("doing a boring job while micro 
managed by a supervisor with far too much time on his hands").

Likewise, a theatre director where I worked a few years insisted on us 
"signing out" on a marker board to tell her where we were going so she knew 
where we were at all times.  This led to comments like "gone to kill the 
wabbit, back at 2pm".  It ended when one of the women working there left a 
detailed message of how she spent her lunch with her boyfriend--AND her 
girlfriend.

So, don't blame him for the line--it may not be his fault, and frankly, it 
doesn't really bother me--however, I do offer a suggestion to Cecil, and 
anyone else in a similiar situation.  Depending on the system you actually 
use, it's possible to set a template to use automatically when replying to 
the Celtics list, including a specific variation of your signature.  I know 
that's not always feasible but I thought I'd mention it.  My own e-mail 
program, Eudora Pro (which I think is GREAT), does this, as I have to deal 
with e-mail for all kinds of subjects, some business-related.

But here, among friends, I'm not plane nor bird, nor even frog.  It's just 
lil old me....
