I got fed up with the top posters on other lists expecting ME to help 
THEM in spite of blatantly ignoring my instructions on how to properly 
reply. So I use the following .signature which accurately and briefly 
states my position. I won't "honor" them with a reply, however the door 
is wide open if I believe they need a bit of "dishonoring."
