Well? Let's hear it folks.
I've never seen a post in which the poster's signature was 22x longer than the post itself...

Contact your dealer and ask? Questions should be free. Also your dealers parts department are usually good at knowing about these things.
Then don't read it! Sheesh!

Inconsiderate ill mannered, rude I'll do what I damn will please who doesn't care that the majority of world is still on dial up, and paying by the minute to down load his off topic political views masquerading as a sig line.

yeah, no kidding...
That's not the point... Use a sig, not a dissertation.
Now you will be plonked for all eternity.
You are an IDIOT! Sheesh!
I have posted with this sig at various times for over two years in about
4-5 ng's. The only time that this sig was previously mentioned was to remark that Grant made a decent speech yada,yada,yada.This is the first that anyone has ever complained about it, or any other sig, for being too long. So please killfile me all you want. If you're so close-minded that something so insignificant as a sig sets you off then I won't mind not being part of your usenet world.
To those who actually answered my original question I thank you.

Umm...
I guess I started this, but I wasn't harping. What I stated was factual; I actually counted the lines of your sig to come up with the numbers I posted. Why I commented was because you have by far the longest sig I've ever seen. You're free to put it up all you want to; It's your business. I suppose you could use a Grisham novel as a sig if you want, but you can't complain if others plonk you over bandwidth (or other) issues.
Also, if you're going to post a sig as long as my arm, I have every right to comment about it, especially if the sig is 180 out of phase with the topic. By the way, from what I read, the reason that others plonked you is that you threw a hissy fit about our comments. The first amendment goes both ways. If you can put up a political speech as a sig, and make us all download it to read your 5 or 6 on topic words, we can comment about it. It's no big deal...
By the way, I didn't even read your sig. It's probably a beautiful piece of writing.

OK. First it's not writing. If you had read it, or my replies for that matter, you would have noticed at some point that the sig I am currently using is a speech given by them President Ulysses Grant in Des Moines, IA on 9/30/1875 before the Society of the Army of the Tennessee.
I post it in its entirety so people can see his position and keeping sectarian schools separate from Public schools in funding from government coffers. I would offer more insight as to why Grant felt this way but I wouldn't want to drone on this off-topis issue any more than I have already.
As for bandwidth, the sig in question is an attached text file that is
1.55 kb is size. Now I know that most Internet users still use dailup service but even the slowest amongst those poor souls should be able to download that in less than a second with a 28800 Bps connection and in one second with a 14400 Bps connection.As for perspective, I am a disaster relief services volunteer for the Red Cross. I spent almost 3 weeks in Louisiana and Mississippi last November and they want me to go back again but circumstances don't allow me the privilege of serving those Americans most affected by Katrina and Rita.
When you see people thankful just to be alive and thanking you for driving a response vehicle to a designated distribution point to hand out food and basic hygienic supplies you start to see the little problems in your day-to-day living a bit differently.
So if the size of my sig offends you and anyone else please accept my heartfelt apologies. However, Grant did a marvelous job of summarizing my feeling on why religious schools should not now nor ever receive any subsidies from the federal government. I myself and Roman Catholic and my children did attend a Catholic school but that should not have been funded by anyone other than myself and my wife.
Good night and good luck.
