control of my newsreader yet. (Forte Agent - very versatile but a bit

Here goes another try.

Ah, you're on the old Agent 1.9, so I kinda forget where the
signatures are. On 3.3 it's under Tools/Options/Posting
Messages/Signatures. If you include '-- ' (that's hyphen hyphen
space) at the beginning of your sig most proper newsreaders will
delete your sig when someone wants to reply to you (no one needs
multilined signatures repeated over and over in a thread).

g'day alex,

where we live is all described on our web page,

and we are devotees of raised gardens.

climatic or numbered zone ereferences are a rough guide, as most of us
in what ever zone/climate we are in have micro-climates, that is why
one gardener in a community may be able to do what another can't.

It is a good idea to use a sig delimiter.
Sigs longer than 4 lines is frowned upon by many.

It is called a sig delimiter. Google will bring up more info than you
probably want or need.

Yes, Travis, I know that. Most don't, so I was trying to keep it
simple.

While I think that is a good idea to put SOME information in your sig
line too much info is just as bad as no info. I would much rather see a
sig line that contains the link to the person's web site (if they have
one). You can get a lot of good ideas from looking at posters' web site
and, usually, find out all about their location.

A sig delimiter is really quite necessary. I'd remove the smiley as
well, as it's ambiguous as well as annoying.

stand tall and proud,

East Bay is Oakland (Is the city's motto really, "Come Back, We weren't
Shooting at You"?) and Beezerkly, cultural and intellectual Mecca's of
the Left Coast, respectively.

You don't want to go identifying yourself with them quiche munchin',
chardonnay guzzlin' beatniks and hippies of San Francisco, who are
always lost in the fog do you? That is fog . . . isn't it?

John,
Forestville, up by Santa Rosa, north of the "City". I hope your back is
from too much fun in the garden. Sometimes I can get rid of back
problems by lying on my back and then crunching up and pointing my elbow
at the opposite knee, 10 or 20 times. It twists your spine and puts
tracion on it at the same time. If you have a bad disk though, forget I
said anything. Whatcha growin'?
