And in a telephone call you identify yourself at the beginning, and customarily not at the end. And, of course, an e-mail is identified in the "FROM:" entry at the top, which is why most folks who grew up with e-mail don't sign at the bottom, but those for whom an e-mail is a substitute for a written note usually consider it rude not to sign at the end.
There is one very good reason for signing ClayArt notes -- the moderators have asked that we do so. They do the work, so they make the rules. That's the reason for doing it, and that's why I created a signature file in the account I use for ClayArt messages, which I devoutly hope will attach to this message.

The "From" at the top does not always identify the writer. There are some
email e-dresses that defy recognition of the author. I agree an email should be
signed and also geographically identified. It's nice to know where the writer
is from. After all we don't have area codes as with the telephone. Cheers all!
