One of the staple "mac" things seems to be to have your current computing machinery listed(in detail) within one's signature. The numbers of people doing this here are growing.
I have nothing against these signatures, but some of them are getting out of hand. Its a little ridiculous when there is post that is 2 lines of commentary, followed by 25 lines of signature. When such people post 10 times in the same thread, this adds a significant amount of repeated text.
I say this because these large signatures are just adding junk text, which adds to size of each thread, which adds to the diskspace needed to store the thread, and adds to the bandwidth required to load the page. This in turn increases macosx.com's costs to serve the page. It decreases the profit gained from ad-driven page views.
One way to combat this is by limiting the length of a signature.
I'm not saying that you need to do anything, but just brought it up as a consideration for keeping your operating costs down. Do some calculations. Average page size with and without long signatures, and multiply by the number of monthly page views. See how much the difference is and if you could save money on bandwidth. This may be a moot point.
I just want to see a Great Thing continue.
