Sig Whores, What Do You Think?

IMO sigwhores have been around since YNOT... difference is the good ones back then enjoyed a good success rate while the ones today folks generally just find annoying.

People in general resist change, just because we make our living from this new communication vehicle doesn't mean we are immune to this. Upgrades, patches... few look forward to those potentially hairpulling delights. Over the years have seen gripes about SEO changes, consoles, TGPs, email spam and more; yet all of those things are still with us dispite being unpopular with some people.

The sigwhore issue shares a commonality with those things above; someone is making money off it. When value of the return outweighs the cost will see a change because quest for the dollar seems to cancel out that natural resistance to change quite well.
