Well, I post here because I think you already answered my questions. 
From my (little) experience with the POV-Team I had the impression that

my impression. So I'm glad to hear that I was wrong.

Mmmh, at least one :-) But you're right: I removed it from my signature
file.

Thanks a lot for your answers
