Actually, it's clear here that it's neither of those, but rather a
commercial pitch thinly disguised as a sig file. An occasional
self-indulgent promo in a sig file is becoming a more accepted practice,
but it's nice to see it turned off once in a while... especially when it
follows the previous reply to the same thread on the same list by 24 hours.
It's just good Netiquette, seems to me.

Sig-envy? Sheeesh, I don't think so ... (see below for further proof)
