Stump the Band
Posted by Gordon Smith

A reporter left a message on my voicemail yesterday. She wants to do a story on people who attach pithy quotations to the end of their email messages. She was referred to me by a colleague, but this one is out of my range. I don't include a quotation on my own messages, and I don't have anything interesting to say about why people might choose to do that. (It seems sort of obvious, doesn't it? They are trying to be funny or to show their stripes.) She asked when people started doing this, and I suppose the answer is, "whenever sig files were devised."

Any thoughts?
