Mark, I think this one exceeds 'minimum' as defined in the echo guidelines:

  ===========================================================================
  I N T E R N A T I O N A L   F I D O N E T   C H E S S   C O N F E R E N C E
  ===========================================================================
                              G U I D E L I N E S

 (10) There are no restrictions on signature blocks; however, out of
      consideration for those systems which don't receive their feeds on
      a fixed fee/costsharing basis, please keep them to a minimum.
