I will rebut, but only briefly.
First, despite your paragraphs-long retort, I never called you a newbie, nor did I call into question your knowledge, intelligence, or expertise. Just "not so good sig."
Second,

I don't know what's worse... long sigs listing every mod down to the special zinc-plated fasteners, or all the replies to a thread after someone posts a dyno sheet or timeslip, asking "what year? what mods? what gas? any spray? how fast has it gone? F1's or race rubber? which traction bars? what tire pressure? what altitude and temp?" etc. A detailed sig is preemptive, in that it potentially eliminates the next 10 posts inquiring about such specific details, probably reducing the total thread length by a full page or more. If not already provided in the sig (or not appropriate to include in your sig), it would be nice if that kind of info was included in the original post for everyone's benefit.
I guess a nice compromise (so you don't have to type up this kind of info often) is a horizontally-oriented list like Tim suggested.
Of course, I have probably had more than a few "poor" sigs myself.
