As did everyone's, I think - it's great that we had such an ASCII-art-friendly logo :)

I moved all my work-related mailing-list subscriptions to personal email when the legal departments started getting hold of .sigs.  It seems pretty much impossible these days to post from a work address to any external email at all without looking like an idiot.  (Of course, just removing the legal boilerplate doesn't, in itself, *prevent* me from looking an idiot, before anyone goes for the obvious...)
