In every age we have found ways to make the Gospel relevant.  It doesn't
have to be used in a .sig, but I thought it might be interesting to see the
logic of the Gospel, so to speak.  Imagine if a programmer wrote a
response.  Then we'd have a dialogue.  You're probably right, though.  I'm
not sure it'll convert the masses of unbelieving programmers out there. 
Still, if just one person comes to Christ through it, you couldn't call it a
waste.

If you don't think it merits your time/effort, don't worry about it.  It's
also intended to be something kind of fun.  I notice it took a little time
for some - others had already done this.  That means someone sat down and
gave it a bit of thought.  So, even if it turns out to be a time waster, I'm
sure it was at least a bit of fun. :)  I know I enjoyed reading them.
