I think you're missing Amancio's point.  It's not the content of the
.sig, it's the size.  You'll note that most of the regulars on the
list don't use a .sig at all.

There are more people out there documenting Linux, but quite honestly,
I hadn't seen a problem in this area.  I recently considered printing
some books with the FreeBSD online documentation (mainly the man
pages, but also the handbook) and discovered it was impractical: it
would have come to about 7,000 pages.  If Linux has more than that
(quantity, not quality) then that's a problem.

Yes.  Normally with no problems.
