I can easily do without the small image in the signature. Once, or occasionally is fine, but we don't need it every time. You may be trying to start a trend, but no one seems to be following.

It serves no valuable purpose, a signature with your Mac and OS would do more. When someone starts to ramble on without identifying their system assuming others know, is just wrong, and I am just as guilty as others. I don't reply to some posts, exactly because I am running an older Mac and OS. And we are running a whole bunch of different OS, other than the bleeding edge or beta. On the 4 Apple lists I am on, I think there is someone running 10.4 and several are running 10.5.8.?

Others might not use such a small image. Let's see, about 250 current members, times about 45 posts yesterday, times 15kB, that is about 61.6 million kB a year of just repeated member images. If you want to know what the person looks like, ask for their image in a private email. I know my curiosity has peaked on a couple and I have their image in my Contacts and it appears in Mail.app when I read emails. I even have your's Jim Saklad in my Contacts. Then again, their are others that never use a given name, so I don't think that they are going to post a selfie.

What I would rather, if we are going to burn up electrons, is a proper attribution in the quotes. Such as:

rather than, Dave (the other). Not only does the first tell me exactly who, but approximately where to find the quote in the thread.

And heaven knows, that you, Jim S, often don't quote and seldom attribute. And we occasionally, chose the wrong bit of info, or assume on that bit of info, to base our comments. I know I have, because I could not trace it back to the proper post.

For example, in the thread, "My Power mac keeps restarting", the OP never mentioned what the form factor of his Mac was other than Power mac running El Capitain (sic), one person said iMac, another said Mac Pro, where I asked what form factor because no PowerMac can run OS X 10.11, and gave an example of doing the replacement of a fan on a MBP.
