My sig is about 8 lines or something. Full title, address, company, etc but when I reply further on in conversation I just leave my name title and company name. If I quote someone on a forum I just keep their sentence I'm referencing to. I hate when someone quotes a full article post in the response, it can make things hard to read. Also if you receive a password from someone in email, PLEASE remove the information when replying. Otherwise your credentials are passed back and forth and sometimes end up in CCs to others. If you can, use encryption. I like to follow the no top posting and the short sig guidelines. My sig is about 8 lines or something.
