    How do I do the fancy banner thing at the end of messages?
    Is it automatic? I want one as well please! where can I set it up? I am
    using slrn right now btw. I assume it is client specific.

    You mean a signature? If a random 'fortune' qualifies as fancy (example below), here's how I did it, <https://tilde.club/~barnold/>. Have fun.

    Look for "signature" in SLRN's documentation.

    Manually you can add stuff using ...

    minus minus space endofline

    ... on an own line as separator and netiquette prefers a maximum of four
    lines after that. I think you'll not be sued if in some rare cases you
    add a bit more. o;-)

    Some clients[0] may block you from doing this, I don't know how SLRN
    handles this.

    and I did that mainly only because I do not want GNUS to nanny me
    too much and in near to all cases you'll see me stick to the four
    lines habit in news.

    I prefer to have a global default signature overridden by hierarchy or
    even group specific ones and additionally I often override that manually
    from a pool of ~/.signature.d/* files when I see a better match for a
    post's contents.

    That is a very cool setup. Thanks for sharing. I am going try to make a
    dynamic one as well. Also nice blog, I like the style of it. :)

    You're welcome, have fun!

    Thanks. I'd like to claim that it's due to my mad phat CSS skills but
    it's nearly all what comes with the initial default site that comes with
    a tilde.club account. :)
