If a sig line is considered a waste of bandwidth, why add more waste 
with blank lines?

One guideline that has been used for years is located at
http://www.dtcc.edu/cs/rfc1855.html   Netiquette Guidelines

What seems to be acceptable netiquette for signature lines is
If you include a signature keep it short. Rule of thumb is no longer 
than 4 lines. Remember that many people pay for connectivity by the 
minute, and the longer your message is, the more they pay.
