Since we're talking about my email signature here, this characterisation
you've described is meant to be me.  I don't know what *I've* done for
you to describe me that way, but at best it's irrelevant to debian-user.
It's perjorative, and I would ask that you stop writing perjoratively
about me on this mailing list, and go and re-read the Code of Conduct
for participating in Debian.

>eagerly leaving behind the originally all-text form of e-mail

Unicode *is* text, as far as I'm concerned. I don't see the point in
limiting what I write to a 7-bit namespace from the 1960s, even if I am
fortunate enough that my chosen names are representable in it.

My signature includes an emoji which is configured to be a reasonable
approximation of my appearance.
