["John Abreau-2" <user=184@nabble.blu.org>]

 Unfortunately, I'm stuck with a company policy that requires a common 
signature format that bigger than I like. My signature on my personal 
mail is more reasonable: 

John Abreau / Executive Director, Boston Linux & Unix 
IM: [hidden email] / abreauj@AIM / abreauj@Yahoo / zusa_it_mgr@Skype 
Email [hidden email] / WWW http://www.abreau.net / PGP-Key-ID 0xD5C7B5D9 
PGP-Key-Fingerprint 72 FB 39 4F 3C 3B D6 5B E0 C8 5A 6E F1 2C BE 99
