:joyful::joyful::joyful: OH NO! Don't open the "Best Answer" can of worms again :D.
Yes, really. I wonder why CT allows them? What if everyone had large image (or any image) in their sig line? Scrolling past all that repetitive...
Too bad ad blockers don't work for the large, unnecessary, and distracting photos the two of you use in your sig lines :p. Oh the irony :D.
