Evidently not the rules that stipulate a sig should be no more than 80
characters wide nor 4 lines long, since DeLaney's sig conforms to those
rules. Apparently on Planet Brads they have different rules.

Anyway, Brads should give DeLaney a break. He's just a newbie, having
only been using essentially the same sig for, hmm, just over 13 years
now. But hey, Brads, good vigilance. Some folks would've taken a while.

Yes: max 32 lines, max 10 characters/line. Optimized for printing on
calculators in the 1980s.
