Depends on how you view it - for me, the first "Thomas" is 'signing' my
posting (and I myself find i very strange if that's done in the
signature - it always looks like the posting isn't 'closed' properly to
me. But that's entirely personal), whereas the signature gives my full
name and a place to find some extra information, should one so desire.
And of course my motto. ;-)
Depending on the list, I choose to add bits and pieces, as long as I
don't exceed the four lines.

So, in short: To me, it makes perfect sense... ;-)

Cheerio,

Thomas
