I truly believe in the value of the email signature. It's our duty to make ourselves and our businesses accessible and easy to reach. After all, that's what approachability is all about.
But it's frustrating when an email contains a signature that's utterly pointless, provides no value and often confuses the recipient.
Here's an example:
"Microsoft isn't the evil software company everyone thinks they are.
They just make crappy programs." -Linus Torvalds, Creator of Linux OS.
This signature, among many other annoying examples can be found on The Gallery of Annoying Email Signatures from www.orsi.net
LET ME ASK YA THIS...
What's the worst email signature you've ever received?

The worst e-mail signature someone can leave to another business is their name only! Then I have to find what company they are with, etc. Don't expect that a business will remember you by just your name!
An even worse signature than "their name only", and all too common, is NO NAME at all. And when that's combined with some silly/cryptic email address like "Wiggedout2001@aol.com", it makes for pathetically poor communication.
