What is a vcard and why do people tell me not to use them?
A vcard is only readable by a newsreader capable of rendering html. For this reason and because vcards are ‘attached’ to the Usenet posting, they are not recommended. They are also very annoying in that they very rarely change. This is analogous to giving everyone you talk to your business card each and every time you talk with them… after a while, we have enough of your cards, and we really don’t want any more. A signature is the preferred method to communicate pertinent personal information. Please see the section on ‘signatures’ or ‘.sig’ for more information. index 1 1.3 1.3.
