I feel stupid asking, but what does:

"We also know to keep our sigs short, but what the heck, some of these
Buffy quotes need the space"

- mean?  I'm wondering about "sigs" or "Buffy", or "Buffy quotes need
the space".......


According to a Google search:

SIGS - Acronym for /*s*pecial *i*nterest *g*roup/, a group of users
interested in a particular subject who discuss the subject at meetings 
or via an online service online_service.html>. SIGs exist for almost 
every conceivable subject. Online SIGs are sometimes called /forums/ or 
conferences

*Buffy* \Buff"y\, a. (Med.)
  Resembling, or characterized by, buff.

  Buffy coat, the coagulated plasma of blood when the red
     corpuscles have so settled out that the coagulum appears
     nearly colorless. This is common in diseased conditions
     where the corpuscles run together more rapidly and in
     denser masses than usual. --Huxley.
