I would say that if your signature is, almost literally, a signature
(so your name and maybe one or two additional lines) then put it
inline, as I do.  Any more than this then put your name after your
last line of posting, in order to terminate the posting and put the
rest of the rubbish at the bottom so that nobody has to look at it
(they never read it anyway so even better not to include it at all).
