I won't read a 23 line sig but that's not the point. Every time you
post a reply in a thread the entire 23 lines gets added to the message -
over and over and over again. It's PITA to have to scroll past all that
crap. Rationalize it anyway you like, what it amounts to is either
ignorance, rudeness, or both. You're quite simply ignoring accepted
Usenet practices (http://mozilla.edmullen.net/moz_sigtag.html).

Did you know that Babies are born without kneecaps. They don't appear
until the child reaches 2 to 6 years of age.

IIRC, new releases of WinZip have always been free to registered users.

Not any longer.

Registered users of previous versions of WinZip are eligible to upgrade
at 50% of the WinZip 10.0 list prices. The single-user upgrade to WinZip
10.0 Standard costs only $14.95 and to WinZip 10.0 Pro only $24.95.
