Just reminding everyone on the signature sizes!

Okay, here's a thought...
I realize that we may have arbitrarily come up with a 600 x 100 image size limit (and I realize that some people don't get it about why big signatures can be annoying) but even if we use that standard, there are too many ways for people to make a sig too tall by adding multiple lines of text (or one line of large font text) so maybe we can use an already on-screen "mearsuring gauge" to set the standard on overall signature height and allow everyone to easily determine if their signatures are acceptable or not.
Take a look at the area on the left side of the screen where the member name, avatar, and other information is listed. How about if we set the signature height to be something equal to that height? In other words, if you post a one word (or one line) reply in a topic, the bottom of your signature should not be lower than the bottom of the "member number" line. That would allow for a 600x100 pic and few lines of text to still fit. If no pic is used, then clearly, more lines of text can be used if needed.
Obviously, the only way to measure things is by using a one word (or one line) post since longer posts will push the signature down below the measuring line...
Does that sound like a good compromise?

To make things easier to understand, I've created a thread in the test forum to explain the signature size guidelines and give people a chance to test their sigs to see how they measure up...

Is this the ideal size?
I'll work on resizing my sig pic.
