Lord James, I appreciate your candor. However, your own use of the word 
'propaganda' is at cross-purposes to your argument. Adamantius' sig lines 
are not what I would call neutral, but they are in fact quotes. They are 
not in the body of his post, so I couldn't call them comments, per se. And 
he has been using these sig lines for a time now- and I think that if 
Gunthar (whose 'living room' this list resides in) had a problem with it, 
he'd have said something by now.

And like the 'out-of-period' persona issue, bringing it up and pointing it 
out only makes it more prominent.
