I thank Patrick Leary and others for clarifying the SQN situation.  After
reading Aldo's initial post, in which he appeared to overreacting to an
innocuous-looking .sig, I honestly didn't understand what fuss about SQN
was.  After reading the subsequent posts on the topic, I spent an hour
researching SQN and their presence on the Internet, and have concluded
that the above assessment of SQN is entirely accurate.  I apologize for
my previous clueless post on this topic.
