In any case, the effort to stimulate forum discussion and involvement is appreciated.
On the other hand, I'm not sure "rude" is the right word here. Perhaps just isn't thinking about how people might react? The mods are busy and adding to there burden might not be in anybody's best interest, a point the poster may not have considered. That's the first post. This one may create some competition between fans of one sig creator and another, or even between the two (which I doubt since generous people are usually not concerned with being seen as better in their generosity than others).
Finally, I too like both of them and appreciate their generosity.
