No; its purpose is to help people to reply to you with electronic
mail. That is why people are only counting the 240 characters of @-signs,
not the first line.
If your .signature had contained your Postal Address (for example),
I expect that no-one would have thought anything about it.
Isn't there something in one of the comp.newusers.renamed.today postings
about this? (it used to be in mod.announce.newuser, I think, but I have
not received that sort of group since then, sorry).
