It seems reasonable to require that signature blocks be of reasonable size (my list guidelines are 3-4 lines max) especially when the list is archived. No one needs to see the same ten-line ascii picture again and again. But, if an individual is using an employer provided account to participate in either work-related or private-interest mailing groups, it also seems reasonable to me that the employer can ask/require identifying information to be placed in the signature block. URL's or even corporate slogans are all reasonable, in my opinion. It's not "advertisting" -- it's an acknowledgemet of the fact that this individual is using an account which is paid for by the company.
