The thing I hate about web boards, are the giant sig files, especially the
graphical ones. I've been to boards where there are HUGE pictures attached
to every post a person makes, followed by a few quotes they think people
would like to read every time they read on of their posts. Sometimes its
difficult to find the text of the actual post, among all the crap attached
to it.
