Indeed - hence a decent newsreader warning you if you attempt it.

I subscribe to a (US based) Yahoo group about one model of car, and the
'owner' has strict rules - like always including a sig saying your
version of the model and where you live. Saves the problem of 'I need a
humgrommet fitted - can anyone recommend a mechanic close to here?'
Plenty seem to find this a problem so he just tells them politely to f
off. Even although there are details on how to add a sig for most common
progs.
