Guide: How not to suck on mailing lists: #1. Signatures

Do:

Microsoft: “You’ve got questions. We’ve got dancing paperclips” - animadesign.web.id

If you really need to have a signature (for narcissist purpose of course) you don’t have to make it like a wall of text. Just short and sweet please, like mine (shameless plug, I know, shut up)

Dont:

Dear X,

OK!

Regards,
My Very Cool Name, Title One, Title Two, Title Three
my.name@my-company.com
[mobile icon] 0888888

<hr />

Your Company Name
Your Company Address Line 1
Your Company Address Line 2
Insert all phone, fax and all sort of numbers here

That suck. Big time.

I mean, for fuck’s sake, just compare the bytes you waste on the signature than what you actually write dude (it’s in bold btw). Everyone should leard from me on this, because I’m always right.

PS. Don’t mind me, on a cheesy mood again, now where is that damned moon, tsk

PPS. Yikes, forgot the ‘on’ on the title, my bad.

    lhah, kali dia emang butuh masukin segala nama dan alamat perusahaan di signaturenya dia? gimana dong? kebutuhan orang kan beda2. atau coba tanya sama si bapak itu, “pernah denger ANSAB, boss? now go. sana ansab aja!” :D

    wuah, marah2 mulu, penuh dengan F word.

    **langsung ansab**
