He's asked me to read it to him at least a half-dozen times already. It's a delightful story with, of course, beautiful artwork about a dog who is so big that people don't even know he's there.

Wouldn't there be too many words for Dubya?

TENN @6: What rule are you citing? I don't see anything that says .sigs in posts are discouraged or prohibited.

Signature lines are discouraged because your name is already on your post. Extra line breaks are also discouraged to decrease vertical mileage in threads.

Right; I'm asking where these rules are available for perusal.

Ah, thanks. Wow, that's one well-hidden link. Sorry for the OTness, re-lurking now.
