[AccessD] OT Signatures?

While I don't generally peruse the AccessD list much these days, but I am on
the SQL list, I don't really have an issue with signatures.  If it is an
issue then perhaps clipping messages should become standard practice.  One
method would be to have a much more active role in the moderation of
messages.  By that I mean new subscribers would need to be forced through
the queue from the moderators, once their messages were approved by mods,
then they could post on the list, such lists still exist with very active
mods ie, MyItToolbox where they won't even let me cross post :D.  Once they
approve you and you follow the rules, they let you post almost immediately.

that same theory can be applied here, but will require active mods, and
consistent applications of the rules.
