Interesting pow. it’s also true for email beanding which is practically the same.

Do you mean messages like “sent from my iPhone?”

That obnoxious shit is one reason why I won't buy one. It's like a Usenet sig still being used 20 years after they became uncool.

You know that signature can easily be customized or removed - it's just that nobody does it.

Yeah, the "power of default" :)

It can be removed, they just make it so bloody hard.

No they don't. It's just the default signature; changeable like anything else.

It's there so people understand your message may not be typed as carefully as it would be on a desktop system.
