Yes...I saved it for my map collection. Dunno quite what to think of it except that you have been a little more generous than Jorn Barger in your depiction of New Zealand. :-) -----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+----- . _..::__: ,-"-"._ |7 , _,.__ _.___ _ _<_>`!(._`.`-. / _._ `_ ,_/ ' '-._.---.-.__ >.{ " " `-==,',._\{ \ / {) / _ ">_,-' ` _ \_.:--. `._ )`^-.

Nope. Bye, is a Sig you can have when you are not having a Sig. :-) I've used it almost since my first days on the Net because I wanted something to denote the end of my messages and make it clear that nothing had been chopped off during posting. Because I liked Ascii Art I decided that using a pictorial Sig at the end of postings of Ascii pictures looked a little excessive and also there was some antipathy towards pictorial Sigs in some newsgroups...especially if the Sig was longer than four lines. I've noticed some people end their messages with...later, but I chose Bye, as a well-known abbreviation of Goodbye. My use of Bye, means no more than "end of this message". Anyone is welcome to snaffle my Sig...here it comes... Bye,
