I haven't considered this as spam as I'm not here to sell anything to
this group. I would snip the sig if it was a problem here. In fact I
would enjoy seeing others web sites providing that is not the purpose of
their post.

Thoughts?

The "classic" definition of Internet spam is a posting
of off topic material across a wide number of newsgroups. Say...
posting a note about a new product that enlarges certain body parts,
to all 40K+ newsgroups. An extension of that is Email spam
where there is no filtering of recipients to try and focus one's
efforts on the folks most likely to benefit from the email. We
all get tons of those every day, in amongst the cascade
of emails from viruses.
As an analogy...go to the supermarket. Pick up
a can of Spam. If it is chilled (although, God knows why it
WOULD be...not like it is going to go bad), let it warm to
room temperature. Stand about 8-10 feet from a wall. Open
the can and take the spam cake in your hand. Fling it as
HARD as you can at the center of the wall. See the attractive
pattern? See how there are bits of spam scattered all over
the place? THAT is how Net Spam works.

I'm just plain too lazy to put my website in my sig line. Sig line? Don't
need no stinkin' sig line.

ROFLMAO

You manually type in "Mike" each time? ;-)

What a pretty picture you have painted in my mind. In fairness though
some spam delivers. Those body enhancers do work, my hair is growing
back, I have the lowest mortgage rate on the planet, I spend my days
opening envelopes containing $5 bills, and any day now $2,800,000 should
be deposited into my account from a Nigerian bank.

Assuming you are using "what" for a mail reader?

Outlook Express? OK , go up to toolbar where it says "tools" then go to
"options" then to the tab that says signatures, and make one, and that is
where you include the LINK to your web page, Like Andy does, and there is
a
setting to automaticaly add it to each message.

A while back there was a thread here about who has a web site. I
thought
it was great to look at the few that were posted but I noticed that
people don't post their site as a sig file. Am I wrong to post a
link
to
my pics as a sig? I take it out when posting to ng's not pertaining
to
glass.

I haven't considered this as spam as I'm not here to sell anything
to
this group. I would snip the sig if it was a problem here. In fact I
would enjoy seeing others web sites providing that is not the
purpose
of
their post.

Thoughts?

well then, let's just try that one more time! mb

Michele,

A sig file is usually saved as a txt file and somewhere in your reader
you can tell it where to find the file and whether or not to use it.
What mail/ng program are you using?
