Me either.
For postings that are primarily technical, let's not get our undies in a bunch, live and let live,
You really dont want to bring my undies into this.
blah, blah, blah... Anyway, why would a pitch for the Association of Deer Management Groups be offensive to anyone?
Dont know. If I had a concern it was that I couldn't remember any discussion in this area (e.g. religious, ethnic or political content). Communication is usually a good thing and early is usually better than late.

Well, I had to look up what the acronym means, and to be honest this moderator almost never reads signature lines anyway, so it's mostly a "shrug" I guess.
Generally speaking we try to let things pass unless they have an effect on the smooth running of the group: I don't think we're at that point yet, but please do speek up (either in public or too the moderators privately) if you think otherwise, or if a particular signature crops up that you find offensive.
Thanks John. Or as we say in our corner of the world - no worries.
