Normally I trim sigs and extra cruft, BUT I was making a point.  He got 
on me for trying to find a free alternative and thought I should pay 
$24.95/yr for just the DNS of one domain that was not for business, but 
for knocking around!!  So I pointed out the irony of him saying that 
whilst using a free webmail account from yahoo.  I thought it 
appropriate to leave the sig in that case and post directly below that 
which I was referring.
