Other than education, no. Common internet etiquette says that a sig
shouldn't be longer than four lines. There's also a convention that the
line before your sig should be "-- " (that's dash dash *space*), so that
mail clients can recognize the end of the content and the beginning of the
sig. Some clients will recognize the above and display the sig in a
different colour, for example.
