Re: Signatures
namaste everyone.
A picture is worth a thousand words, of course, but on the Internet, it needs to small in size of bytes, so it does not occupy much space on the server or take much time for the browser to download and display.
Along with Satay's necessary prescription for signatures, let us also take note of another common mistake:
Some of us habitually click the 'Quote' button while replying to a post, and quote the entire text although where the text is long, we might be replying to only a small part of the quote. Since our posts are all usually saved as individual html files on the server's hard disk, this consumes avoidable enormous space, so let us quote only that portion of the text to which we reply.
Here is a shortcut to clicking the 'Quote' button habitually:
Embed these start and end tags where a quote should appear in your reply and then copy-paste the text inside it.
[ Quote=atanu;50082 ]
[ /Quote ]
(Remove the blank space near the square brackets.)
In this example, '[ Quote ] and '[ /Quote ]' are start and end tags (case-sensitive), atanu is the userid which ends with a semicolon and the number after it is the post-id, which can be obtained by placing the mouse pointer on the post count.
Since Satay is giving us a free place/space on the Net to express our religious and spiritual thoughts about Hindu Dharma, let us not strain his resources.

To her whose feet are washed by the ocean, who wears the Himalayas as her crown, and is adorned with the gems of rishis and kings, to Mother India, do I bow down in respect.
