Ohh dear, we're not starting this argument up again are we? 6 lines is not
all that long -- many disclaimers are longer than that. (And yes, I'm aware
that the official guidelines say 4 -- as a rule of thumb. > 10 is yes,
excessively long, but 2 over isn't too bad)
Also, when replying, one is meant to snip bits that are not relevant to
discussion. Presumably in most cases, that includes the email signature. So,
no, it's not nearly as bad as top-posting. ;-)
