IMHO it is rather egotistical to expect a free email list to propagate
many multiple thousands of copies of your 231 byte signature. This
egotism is multiplied by the fact that your signature is useless, it
contains no information that is not otherwise available from the
headers of your posting. I do not know how many people subscribe to
this list but I would be unsurprised if it numbered in the 5,000
range. At such a level that means your signature accounts for 1.15 MB
of data for every posting you make.

Sometimes it is not about what you are "allowed" to do rather what is
considerate of others, just like your request that others not
top-post.
