Well, I think it is just stupid and unnecessary. 7 lines is too short to say much of anything. As long as it is within reason, people should be allowed to set their own limits.
Do you really need to tell the entire history of the XL and IS and how you dont like it in a paragraph that is shown under EVERY post you make?
Actually, yes, I do. I have already shortened it myself, taking out the two qoutes I had there, and minor tidbits that did not add to the point I am attempting to make.
My signature was fine as it was, and did not clutter things up at all. I made sure to organize it and make it look neat. To me, my signature is a way to express my views. 7 lines is not enough, and 5 would not be a smart idea, IMO.
You guys all agree, fine. I don't. My signature is my signature and I should have control over how it looks. It was fine as it was.
Hate to tell you this. But I agree with Martin as well.
Signature defines as...
A signature (from Latin signare, "sign") is a handwritten (and sometimes stylized) depiction of someone's name, nickname or even a simple "X" that a person writes on documents as a proof of identity and intent
Simple as that, not a 2 paragraph essay on god knows what.
