Where does a .sig end and an advert begin, I wonder... (or should that be

t'other way round to avoid Sam's chopper?).

Anyway, am I the only person here who doesn't actually mind adverts and

things at the bottom of emails? Or have I just mellowed too much with age to

be an e-warrior? The point Lee Bryant made about most of us making money

from the marketing dollar is spot on. But then, this isn't the first time

we've seen anti-marketing blast-fests on this marketing forum (and The Wall

on Revolution's site).


Could I be so obvious to point out how easy it is to ignore a .sig, or not

visit any URL's contained within it if you are in anyway offended by the

concept?


On a completely unrelated note - is anyone here going to the LIA awards on

Nov 16th? I missed the last UKNM do due to the floods so I didn't get a

chance to put faces to names and have a general chinwag (that'll be 30

pounds CPM please Sam!) about the state of the industry etc.


Cheers
