Yes I am quite aware that you can do that to me, but why?

Ok, if you are saying you could strip my posts, can I just ask why posts from
others on this list with more than 4 lines, (some up to 11) don't get the
same public responce from you? After all If my sig is too long, then so are
theirs, but I dont see them get the warning?
And surely netiquette also extends to the recent spate of wildly off topic
post concerning GCSE's, this has nothing to do with this list, but look how
that has gone on.
