Something from the GNU Web site (perhaps something which refers to digital
freedom) could be cited in the signature, I suppose. I have seen people
whose signature warns about the dangers of proprietary formats, with or
without formats.
I guess it's also a matter of securing one's friends, not just one's PC (or a
friend's PC). I know people who alienated others by making such mistakes
that are perceived as vanity. See .sig.

everytime you say things like this i just think of that cult of people
who send around .doc files. i dont want to communicate with people who
talk in .doc format, but they do not wish to use something else, so
they discredit those without word. --Ed, c.o.l.a.
