> How big is too big, ...

  Well, since you ask ... my rule of thumb is 20K or less, which seems to me to be a "considerate" size, IMHO.

  I like 'em, but only when they're not too big ...

I gotta agree with Toad.  Sig graphics should be small and used with discretion as a matter of courtesy.  It really is a barrier to anybody trying to obtain information from this message board if they have a slower connection.

It's not necessarily just the size. If your sig file is on a slow or busy server, with Netscape it holds up the rest of the page from displaying.

Please remember though that image size doesn't necessarily mean the same as file size. My image's fairly large in width but is only 13kb, being a highly compressed JPEG file. There's fairly little loss of image quality except some notable blockiness, especially in large blocks of a single colour.

If my image is slow to load I'll be happy to remove it.
