|I was told:
|When signing your ASCII pics, add the initials 
|to the 'left' of the picture.  If they are on the
|right, it is very easy for people to 'snip' them
|off when copying to repost.   Of course,
|people might still snip them off if they are on

|has to make a conscious effort to do so-- and
|replace the area with spaces.   This seems to
|make sense to me.

'-------------------------

I tend to squeeze in my initials into a space where they fit in nicely such
as under someone's arm, on a door... for one thing they are not immediately
obvious and for another ... it's even more 'difficult' to remove.
