Email Signatures
-
I hate email signatures. I hate huge ones that contain every conceivable piece of contact information they can think of. I particularly hate the above on emails from people in the same bloody office. I hate ones that include the email address like the email doesn't know where it's come from. I hate ones that have a fax number like it's the 1990s. I hate ones with images, especially if the image makes the email client think there is an attachment. I hate ones in Comic Sans, you're not fun and wacky, you're a twat. I hate people who cannot be bothered typing their name at the end because they just let the standard sig handle it. If you cannot be bothered signing off with you name then you're getting nothing back from me either. I'm in a grumpy mood today.

Strangely enough that's the one thing I really want on emails. It's not rare than I need to share documents/projects online with colleagues and inevitably this is done by email address within the online application. So invariably it ends up with me finding an email the person sent and trying to extract their email address or trying to do the same from the Outlook address book(working in Cambridge means that many people have foreign names either because they are not British or because their parents were called Featherstonhaugh - pronounced Fanshaw). Because of the 'everything is connected' attitude of some software designers it's sometimes blinking difficult to extract something as simple as an email address from a contact. [Edit 'of' changed to 'or']

I could not agree more with the second part. AND I also hate emails address in emails.

I don't understand this one : Do you type your name everytime because you do not want to include it in your standard sig ??

Every time I want to include it, yes, it is 5 characters, doesn't take me long. Having your name in your sig only is like using a name stamp to sign birthday cards. It is impersonal, and IMHO more insulting than not signing at all.

If I recall correctly he's driving a Peugeot or Vauxhall or similar. No lack of confidence there.

It was an Opel but we have a Renault as the family car. I also have a vintage sports car for playing.

Where I currently work(leaving at the end of the month), it is company policy that anyone with a PHD has to include either "Dr" at the beginning of their name or PHD after their name. The rest of us plebs with ordinary bachelor's degrees or (heaven forbid - do you sense my sarcasm?) those who have never been blessed with an academic qualification from a university have nothing after our names.

I have only my name in my sig, so you would not even tell the difference.

Going from an Opel to a Renault is having balls the size of watermelons in my book. It's either that or a being a complete pillock. :) A vintage sportscar sounds a lot more interesting. How vintage is it?

I've seen other rants against Comic Sans - but the post seemed to be begging for some. Just a taste.

That's an officially cool car! :thumbsup: But is it really from 1971? According to the german wikipedia the company was founded in 1979. I can't find any english wikipedia entry.

Thanks. She started life in 1971 as an MGB and was rebuilt [in 1981 IIRC] as a NG TA, but kept her original paperwork hence she's a '71. We bought her in 2006 and love her to bits, now we're waiting for some good weather again so we can take her out.

OIC. I will have to admit I'm more than just a bit envious.

iirc age is derived from the donor car, so even if the kit was built this year the new car is given the identity(reg plate, age, exclusion from taxation) from the donor vehicle
I see, I wasn't aware that it was working that way. Makes sense though. Thanks for clarifying.
