wrong. It is not faulty. Or "alleged". It is configured to do it because
of the plethora of overly long sigs in existence these days. As are many
others. Gnus even has features to tone down the font so you can hardly
see them. Basically if you have advice give it, don't point to net nanny
signatures. In the same way you gripe about no context, it is the
same. Sure, you could fetch the parent article but I agree its a pain
not to have context and might mention it occasionally.

And besides, if the OP was to reply to you, and cut your signature, then
the point is still valid - readers who read the reply will NOT see your
links.
