What's odd is that it has never happened before. Only started just about now.

I don't doubt it at all.

I didn't up until a few days ago.

This being a computer hardware site I don't see how that matters.

Agreed. That's the problem with heuristic scanning.

It might matter to you, it doesn't to me. Go spend your time on something more important than worrying about what people have listed in their signature.

I suppose if you have no life that sort of nit picking might be your thing though.
