Information in the sig, which one normally does not quote, is generally not on 
topic, and frequently of a humorous or satiric nature.

The sig is the signature area set off by the "dash dash space" line.  (The 
final space is missing from Google Groups posts).  Newsreaders generally 
display that portion of a post in a special color or font (e.g., gray instead 
of black), and automatically omit the sig in replies (unless it's a Google 
Groups post, in which case the lack of the final "space" defeats the feature).

It is not necessary to respond to sigs, as they are not generally intended to 
be taken seriously.  That said, the point was valid about the word "I", was it 
not?  Is it not true information?  Isn't that information useful to you?

But you are right, it is not necessary, which is why it was relegated to the 
sig, the designated area for unnecessary verbiage.
