I think vcards are stupid. I have been seeing them since I started on the
net a little over a year ago and in all that time I have only looked at
one of them. That was simply out of curiosiy. Since that time I have hated
them because I see the mime attachment icon at the top of the message post
and think there might actualy be something attached that is worth looking
at. Imagine my dissapointment when I find out it's just another stupid
vcard. Having both a sig and a vcard is redundant and not really called for
in my opinion.
