Don't use a sig file?

With some mail software it is possible to get the sig placed at the very end
of the message after all the quotes even though you add text at the
beginning.
I don't know if this is possible with Outlook Express, it is probably about
15
years since I have used it.

A possible alternative for Brian is to write his top posted message as usual
and then scroll to the very end of the message and type some boilerplate,
such
as "sig follows" and this might induce OE to put the sig at the end. But
then
I suppose if he could easily scroll to the very end he wouldn't need to top
post!

Or alternatively you could chill. His sig doesn't bother me and even if
it did, I would cut him a little bit of slack.

It doesn't bother me, except in the sense that it is technically suboptimal
and there could be a simple way of improving it. Just trying to be helpful!
