How does he do it? Very carefully. Seriously, I can only think of two possible ways the famous Scarecrow makes his sigs. 1) He comes up with a good idea (or sees a good idea somewhere else and copies it) and proceeds to create the graphic by hand (er, by keyboard?) or 2) He uses a little program called figlet which lets you type in words/phrases and spits out large versions in one of the many fonts available. (Of course, my personal opinion is the only way anyone can have as many sigs as Scarecrow is to put an infinite number of monkeys in front of an infinite number of computers and take anything that vaguely looks like Scarecrow. :-) -- Alan De Smet cha...@yar.cs.wisc.edu Mostly (But not entirely) Harmless The opinions expressed above are yours.
