Normally I trim sigs and extra cruft, BUT I was making a point. He got
on me for trying to find a free alternative and thought I should pay
$24.95/yr for just the DNS of one domain that was not for business, but
for knocking around!! So I pointed out the irony of him saying that
whilst using a free webmail account from yahoo. I thought it
appropriate to leave the sig in that case and post directly below that
which I was referring.
