Well, that's how we learn, by asking.  In this case, sig is just short
for signature.   The rule is that your signature should be no more than
either 4 or 7 lines, I've forgotten which.  I have a Buffy the Vampire
random quote generator (which I should probably stop using as the show's
been off the air for almost 2 years and there's no new quotes).  So, in
this case, I was referring to my ignoring the netiquette rule of keeping
a signature to 4-7 lines.  The Buffy quote part simply meant that some
of the quotes, to get the context, required more than the generally
accepted number lines for a signature.

Giles: But this is why I think we should all keep a level head in
this. 
Willow: And I happen to think mine is the level head and yours is
the one things would roll off of.
