Here!

Emacs (more precisely Gnus) was the first contact I made with free
software. I started using it not because it was free, but because it was
the most powerful newsreader I could find. Now I run a GNU/Linux based
free environment on my home PC, on my PC at work and I installed Linux
on the PCs of my mom (she never ever used proprietary software in her
whole life!) and my wife.

Did you ever realize how much text fits in eighty columns? If you now consider
that a signature usually consists of up to four lines, this gives you enough
space to spread a tremendous amount of information with your messages. So seize
this opportunity and don't waste your signature with bullshit nobody will read.
