Done. I also erased the hard disk and reinstalled the OS.

Given that many Network Operator managers require that that crap be
appended to out-bound messages, frequently beyond the control (or
wishes) of the message-originator, why is it necessary to whine about
every occurrence of it?

IMHO, if your organization appends crap to your outbound messages then you should maintain a separate crap-free email account for your personal email and use it when you post to discussion lists. (If you want to receive list email at your crap-infested account for your own convenience, have it forwarded so that your crap-infested reply email can't be posted back to the list. This isn't rocket science, right?) Posting with crap laden .sigs is just as bad as posting in HTML. This isn't some band fan discussion group, this is the North American Network Operators Group - it's reasonable to expect a certain amount of posting professionalism here.
