Age of Abundance
This is a wonderful time to be alive. We live in a world with more choices than any other time in history. The incredible rate of change we are experiencing today is creating more opportunities and possibilities for us than have ever been imagineable. We have more options in more areas than we ever had before and the number of options available to us is expanding every day, every week and every month. Yet with more options come increased responsibilities, challenges, and changes. Most of us are overwhelmed with more tasks and more responsibilities than we ever had before. You're probably swarmed with:

• books and magazines you need to read for school and exams
• relationships to nurture
• jobs that need to get done
• people you need to get back to
• projects you need to get started on or completed
• goals that you want to get accomplished

And like a non-stop production line in a factory the tasks keep coming one after the after, far too fast for you ever to get on top of them all. This is creating more stress for a lot of people. And stress have a negative impact:

• you are less inclined to make love to your significant other when you are stressed. There's a survey done which says that Singaporeans make love less often nowadays given the hectic lifestyle in this increasing competitive global economy. I believe the same is happening in other industrial nations as well.
• treat people more harshly when you are stressed
• immune system get weakened
• poorer appetite
• some people put poisons into their bodies with cigarettes, alcohol & drugs to relieve stress

Signatures Get In Your Way of Enjoyment In This Age of Abundance
Reading other people's repeated signature is a waste of your time. You ought to be reading more quality messages instead. There's plenty of message boards out there allowing signatures to boost your ego and individuality to keep you going back to them for more with a disregard for your time. However if you are:

• looking for something more worthwhile.
• more time to spend on things that matter to you in this magnificant age of abundance.

I believe a blanket ban on signatures would be far more beneficial for you in the long term. You can leave if you think satisfying your ego and individuality is more important than writing/posting quality messages to increase your quality of life for the long term. There's no shortage of boards out there to pump up your ego.

Enjoy Life! Reduce the Clutter. To ensure that you enjoy life at the palace to the fullest, signatures are disabled to eliminate the clutter that get in your way of fulfillment. I don't want you wasting time reading other people's signature. You have other things such as close relationships with your girlfriend/boyfriend, spouse, friends and children that are more important.
