I keep getting left off the acknowledgements section :-P. Guess I have
to try harder not to cause the authors to get too upset at me ;-)

OK, I will jump in with both feet--
In as far as signing, I think we had discussed before that an
intermediary (I sign SOME mail) would be worthless without being able
to communicate the cases in which the email MUST be signed.

Regards,
Damon Sauer
