Chuck,

I'm always up for agreeing to disagree - life's too short to fight
with people online.  :-)  Personally, I didn't find Jenny's .sig
(which is what you quoted above) any more objectionable than Tara's.
(Note to Tara:  I'm NOT picking on you here - you're just the first
person who came to mind with a .sig that included links to their other
websites and projects.)  Of course, YMMV.
