Yes, I have such a signature.  I use it for responses to e-mail I get to the
mac### [at] povrayorg e-mail address and for some posts in these groups either
if I intend to speak for the team regarding the Mac version, or sometimes if
I get the impression someone desires a response from a team member.

During some arguments, when I talk about the team I also use it occasionally
with a disclaimer in order to point out that it is my opinion, but to make
the person aware of the fact that I am in the team (so I don't get a reply
like: "How do you know about team?") and that I stand for that opinion in
the team.  This especially goes for replies to posts by people who I don't
recognise to visit these groups frequently and who may not know who is in
the team and who is not.

In rare occasions I also remove any signature, to make sure I don't imply
anything.

I had the same problem two years back in these groups.  That is why I
removed it from my default signature, it simply caused too many problems.

I don't post outside these groups, so it is usually OK to include my e-mail
address for any other (non-POV-Ray) reason in the standard signature :-)
