An excellent idea. My co-workers are already used to seeing slightly odd
things in my cube, and they know I'm studying foreign languages
(Japanese and Norwegian at the moment). Some have even browsed my
conlang pages and commented favorably. I mean, they didn't have to say
*anything* if they thought it was weird, but they took the time to
compliment me.

Because my husband, Craig, and I share this internet account. I
sometimes forget to reset the sig preferences after he's been sending
email.
