Thank you for the signature idea, Steve.  Now I have a question
regarding signatures:

Is it acceptable to include technical terms (such as CSS, PHP, MySQL,
etc.) in a signature, or would it be more tactful to abstract the
terms a little to make them perhaps more understandable to the
non-developer?

For example:

HTML and CSS become "page design"
PHP, ASP, CF, JSP, and Perl become "server-side scripting"
MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, etc. become "database applications"

TIA,
David Bindel
