	Sigs of 5 or even 10 lines are great the first or even second
	or third time. After a while it gets annoying to constanly
	look at/erase the same sig. This applies to E-mail.
	One colleague of mine sends me an average of 8 E-mails
	a day, each with the same damm 5 line sig, EVERY time.

	First, or second time mailing,s its always great
	to include a silly sig...after that it gets quite annoying.
	I ask of everyone, if you post a lot or if you are in
	corespondence w/ someone often, have the decency to 
	write a script that at least changes your .signature
	every day. Or leave it small. With all this wonderful
	asci art going around it would rather easy to to have a
	great, different, signature just about every day of the year!!
	I wrote a quick "C" program that put in a different assci image
	to the motd every day.. right now I have 50 files to choose from
	(randomly) and it keeps growing. Every enjoys the variety.
	To do the same with a .signature file
	could be done easily with a script that is executed at login.

	If you dont know how to write a script ect, post here and
	I am sure plenty of people would be willing to donate examples.

	Here is the sig I use for people I corespond with once a week..
	-Amato-
	Here is the one that I use on daily corespondence
	-p-

	I have many silly ones I sometimes toss in for variety.

	Some of the sigs I have seen so many times via E-mail they
	are pretty much burned into to my monitor, my mind and even my dreams.

	Any one else share these feelings or am I the odd man out?
