You should never EVER add a signoff, or any other kind of tag, of
another person unless they give it to you explicitly.  It is beyond
rude to do this without that person's permission.

You qualcomm guys are really mishandling this patch submission,
and just like last time you are steadily pissing me off.

You have a very low level of consideration for other people who feel
the burdon of your work, and you often have no idea what the hell you
are doing.
