I know multiple people have asked you to drop this signature. I’m
adding my voice to the list.
This signature is around 20 lines and you really should try to keep
them under 4. This means that one of your messages probably contains
as much fluff as actual content.
The real issue is that you waist the bandwidth of thousands of
readers every time you send a message to this list. That’s just bad
manners.

For me the real issue is that it is extremely irritating to look at
and scroll past. Maybe if people don’t respond to anansi until he
shows that he can be polite to others on this list and get rid of the
stupid spider, he’ll get the picture.

It means the ruby header files are missing

Sorry about that.
I’m using Mac OS 10.4. Ruby is already installed, so I’m HOPING that
the dev files are already installed. However, I keep getting that
message. What’s going on? Anyone else ever have this problem?

crap my sig won’t fit
because it is always segfaulting ruby on my machine
I can’t require the libnet file. I tried downloading and installing
that (like a normal source program), but i couldn’t require it. Maybe
I installed it incorrectly?
I then attempted downloading ruby-libnet, but I am missing the header
files for ruby.

Or replace it with a line of ruby that generates the same characters.

Actually, a linefeed character doesn’t use up any more bandwidth than
any other character.
True. I think the commodity being wasted isn’t really net bandwidth,
though, but rather screen real estate (pixel bandwidth), which can be
a little annoying. I have an old development system that I frequently
use to check my mail on. It has a crappy monitor. Can I scroll
through the fluff? Of course. But I like having as much info on the
screen at one time. Besides, the same artwork on “every” post gets
tiresome. Maybe if it was ruby code that depicted something new every
time

Actually, a linefeed character doesn’t use up any more bandwidth than
any other character. Thus, the whole “more than 4 lines = wasted
bandwidth” idea is rather arbitrary. A 300-character signature wastes
no more bandwidth if 20 of those characters are linefeeds than if only
3 of them are. If he simply deletes most of the space characters that
are being used to center the spider, thus shifting the spider over to
the left edge, his signature would be using fewer characters than a
signature consisting of 4 full 80-character lines.
Also, I note that you felt the need to quote the entire “waste of
bandwidth” in your reply.
